Amaravati: Donation of the Jetavana Monastery

Limestone

阿瑪拉瓦提祇園布施圖

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。原為方形石柱上的浮雕,上方殘損,但仍清晰可見舍衛城給孤獨長者以千萬金塊鋪地購買祇園為佛陀建築精舍的故事。浮雕將人物、景物的遠近透視關係轉換為畫面中的上下關係,大地無限地向上方延伸,與巴爾胡特的祇園布施浮雕的表現手法類似。作品年代雖不明確,但透過與巴爾胡特相比,一般認為應該在西元前一世紀下半葉。
 此圖較特別的是僧房和房子布局在下方,黃金鋪地的情景卻安排在上方,兩個場景以橫牆區隔,正中央闢門,似表達兩個不同的空間,卻可互通。整體構圖雖有一貫性,但關聯性較弱,且因上方損壞嚴重,較難聯想,不像巴爾胡特的祇園布施圖,人物和場景完全交融在一起,使觀者可以清楚從構圖知道整個故事。
