Ajanta Cave 2: Buddha Teaching the Dharma

Stone

阿旃陀石窟第2窟佛說法像

印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德

位於阿旃陀石窟(Ajanta Caves)第2窟佛龕。佛體量高大,結跏趺坐,作說法印。帶圓形頭光,螺髮肉髻。面相飽滿,肩臂豐實,手掌碩大,身軀渾厚,薄衣覆體,具典型阿旃陀佛像特徵。其左腕已損,頭光、身體多處殘留薄塗石灰敷彩的痕跡。
 佛兩側脇侍菩薩立像帶橢圓形頭光,頂戴化佛寶冠。身形稍苗條,披瓔珞,佩蓮花紋臂釧,右手執拂塵。右脇侍左手持淨瓶,內插蓮花。菩薩上方一身小飛天,手持花環,體態豐壯。台座立面雕有象徵佛成道之初說法的法輪,兩側相對雕雙鹿。從雕像僅存之彩繪及其後方殘餘之壁畫,可見造像原以色彩作細部表現。
 雕像的風格,呈現出一種崇高、完美的氣質,神情端莊,莊嚴典雅,表達了古典主義的理想風格。人物的姿態欠缺流動感,應是笈多王朝(約320~550)藝術前期的作品,也是前期古典藝術的特色。
