Limestone
龍樹丘遺址尸毗王本生圖
印度安得拉邦龍樹丘遺址出土
印度安得拉邦（Andhra Pradesh）龍樹丘遺址（Nagarjunakonda）出土。刻劃佛陀於過去世為尸毗王，割肉救鴿的大慈悲行持。
此浮雕構圖採一圖多景手法鋪陳，尸毗王共出現四次。圖中央上方，王左手捧鴿；下方可見王正割著股肉，宮中的眷屬請求王停止。右側刻劃王以身上秤。左上方表現帝釋天有感尸毗王捨身救鴿的悲心，讓王恢復身上的肉；左下則為尸毗王以手向天，虔誠禮敬。
作品主題鮮明，人物造型富動感，線條相當流暢。人物的動態，雖有些微誇張，但仍不失自然美感，這也是二○○至二五○年間，該地區受到阿瑪拉瓦提風格影響的人物雕刻特色。整體刻工精細，屬龍樹丘佛塔雕刻的典型代表之一。
