Guyuan Northern Wei Tomb: Door Knocker with Buddhas

Bronze

銅鋪首佛像牌飾

寧夏省固原縣雷祖廟村出土

一九八一年寧夏省固原市雷祖廟村北魏墓出土。為北魏孝文帝(471~499在位)時期漆棺畫墓之隨葬品。中國古代在隨葬明器上鑄佛像、饕餮及祥龍等吉祥紋飾,相信藉此可助亡靈升天。
 青銅雕鑄,分作二段,上為鋪首,下是牌飾,推測原應成一組。鋪首,略呈正方形,以鏨刻及鏤空技法作一饕餮,鼓目,獠牙外露,尖葉形立耳,三角高鼻,鼻下設一銜環鈕。兩側飾卷雲紋。雙立耳間透雕對稱雙龍,中間立一佛像。佛高肉髻,下繫腰布,屈雙手置於身側,兩肘各抵龍頭,足分踏龍尾,神態威 武,具有三至四世紀犍陀羅造像遺風,是中國早期佛教藝術注入西方元素的佐證。
 牌飾由龍身相連成橢圓形。雙龍均圓目,頭角卷曲,張口露齒。背上各負一鳳凰。龍環中央雕一佛像,佛綰髮高髻,臉形圓潤,寬肩細腰。上身有聯珠紋裝飾,下繫腰布。其姿態與鋪首上的佛像雷同。
