阿彌陀佛三尊像
日本
此三尊像雕造於十世紀。二脇侍一腳屈起，單腳而立，為罕見的造型，現為日本重要文化財。據大阪天王寺寺傳記載為阿彌陀佛三尊像，但從其材質、技法與作風不同，推測原非同一組，二脇侍可能為寺中五重塔內的樂舞菩薩或供養菩薩。
主尊阿彌陀佛像高49.7公分，頭部至台座由榧木整材雕出，再接合膝蓋前部、手臂前端，並施以土黃色。佛作高肉髻，五官稍傾向於下半部，雙唇緊閉，表情森嚴，內著僧祇支，外著袈裟，手結來迎印，結跏趺坐於束腰台座上。襞褶刻劃深入，刀法銳利。
二脇侍為檜木整材雕刻的彩色像，側身面向主尊，作對稱姿態。左脇侍高58.5公分，兩手交疊於腹前，似捧蓮；右脇侍高55.9公分，雙手合掌，臉微側。均結髮髻，面相豐圓，袒上身，胸腹分節，下裙垂至台座，足間衣紋如波狀摺疊。
