Dambulla Cave 2: Life of the Buddha - Defeat of Mara and Enlightenment (detail)

旦布拉石窟第2窟佛傳圖之降魔成道

斯里蘭卡中央省

位於旦布拉石窟(Dambulla Caves)第2窟窟頂。描繪悉達多太子即將成道之際,魔王率領魔軍前來擾亂的情景。太子居於中央,為眾魔所包圍。太子左側之魔王現四面十臂相,戴高冠,睜目,尖鼻,蓄鬚。佩耳璫、瓔珞、臂釧和腕釧,兩手持利器,騎於象背。此象有三鼻六牙,一鼻卷武器,一鼻勾蟒蛇。魔眾或獸頭人身,或獠牙外露,手高舉,或持利器,或握毒蛇,或捧猛獸,充滿喧嘩囂鬧的氣氛。
 畫面構圖緊湊,色彩繽紛,細節描繪細密。人物表現法具埃及繪畫特徵,正、側面角度同時呈現。採用單線平塗法,色彩單純飽和,為該窟的壁畫特色。
