Amaravati: Stupa

Limestone

阿瑪拉瓦提佛塔圖

印度安得拉邦阿瑪拉瓦提遺址出土

印度安得拉邦(Andhra Pradesh)阿瑪拉瓦提遺址(Amaravati)出土。原為大塔基座的裝飾石板之一,圖像仿照大塔造型,反映出實體的建築構造。石板上方和兩邊有磨損,其他部分雕刻保存相當完整。
 欄楯柱刻有二方連續的圓形蓮花紋飾,柱間亦布滿圓形的蓮花浮雕。入口處兩側欄楯上飾相對蹲踞的護法獅,門欄上則雕背向蹲踞、轉頭回望入口的雙獅。門欄下方外側各有一名笑容可掬、頭上頂著鉢的藥叉。
 塔基正面飾兩個圓形浮雕,下圖表現佛陀於兜率天說法的事蹟,上圖刻劃悉達多太子出城;上端伸展出一方台,上聳立五根列柱。其餘空間分別配置本生故事和佛說法圖,間飾佛足印,題材豐富,人物眾多,但分配均勻對稱,仍顯得整齊和諧。
