Swat: Life of the Buddha

Schist

佛傳圖

巴基斯坦西北邊境省斯瓦特出土

巴基斯坦開伯爾巴圖克瓦省斯瓦特(Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)出土。斯瓦特位於古犍陀羅,與希臘人建的大夏王國(246~125BCE)接壤,是中亞通往西亞必經之地,貿易商業的重鎮,所出土的石雕及浮雕皆帶有濃厚的希臘色彩。
 此浮雕原為寺院欄楯的一部分,表現佛傳故事,分上下二層四個場景。場景均以立柱分隔,柱頭刻卷葉紋,為古希臘神殿的科林斯式(Corinthian)列柱。圖下層右側為託胎靈夢圖,刻劃摩耶夫人夢見白象入胎而受孕之事。夫人左脇而臥,上方有一白象刻於圓輪內,旁侍立四位宮女。圖下層左側表現淨飯王請相師占卜夫人夢境的情節。
 上層圖右側為釋尊成道後,摩揭陀國頻婆娑羅王禮請佛陀進王舍城說法的事件。圖左側則為釋尊結跏趺坐,表現的可能是為商人說法或者四天王奉鉢。
 四個場景,情節雖多,卻不紊亂。雕刻技法純熟,將建築、人物、宮廷生活等畫面融為一體。
