佛及觀音菩薩像

巴基斯坦吉爾吉特巴爾蒂斯坦直轄區吉爾吉特鎮出土

一九三一年巴基斯坦吉爾吉特巴爾蒂斯坦直轄區吉爾吉特鎮(Gilgit, Gilgit Baltistan)出土,為經板畫。當地佛塔出土的一批經典,屬印度次大陸最早的寫經,這些寫經無插圖,僅經板飾彩繪,其圖像可謂該區域最早的輕便型畫作範例。
 此對經板的外表面和內表面均有彩繪,圖為其內表面,二幅構圖相同,上方繪阿彌陀佛一尊,觀音立於中央,俯視其右下方跪拜之供養人。圖右側觀音深目高鼻小嘴,戴項鍊和手鐲;袒上身,帔帛繞臂,腰布長垂過膝,褶紋層疊有致;右手施與願印,左手叉腰,足掌外展而立。圓形頭光後繪一傘蓋,上方阿彌陀佛著大紅通肩袈裟,結禪定印,趺坐蓮座;下方供養人像幾近漫漶。左側觀音造型與右側相似,唯左手於腰側持長莖蓮花,腰布短小,兩腳交叉而立。下方供養人穿著似當地服裝。
 整體而言,觀音雙眼畫法具西印度阿旃陀石窟、愛羅拉石窟繪畫特色,健碩的體型則受到犍陀羅藝術影響,畫風自然優美,爾後此風格亦見於約九世紀之喀什米爾佛教美術。
