Life of the Buddha - Defeat of Mara and Enlightenment
Green schist
降魔成道圖
巴基斯坦
犍陀羅作品。該浮雕為尖拱形嵌板，邊緣作搏風狀起凸，上飾三角、五瓣花紋。浮雕下部中央半圓形區域為主要畫面，表現佛陀降魔成道的場面。悉達多太子居中，結跏趺坐於枝葉茂盛的樹下，右手結觸地印，面容安詳寧靜，不為右側作勢拔劍的魔王威脅，也不被左邊魔女嬌媚所惑。右端作半跏思惟者為魔王波旬，思索為何無法戰勝悉達多太子。
降魔圖上方三層圓弧形區域，由下往上第一層中間為圓輪光，第二層為鉢，第三層為舍利容器，兩旁皆表現眾人跪拜，兩端均有帶翼的馬身蛇尾神獸。畫面外周飾波狀蔓草五瓣花紋，頂部中間則是集束的濶葉和挺立的蓮蕾。浮雕構圖豐富，融合了印度、希臘和羅馬的諸多圖案要素。
