Nagapattinam: Seated Buddha
Granite
一佛二菩薩像
印度坦米爾納德邦納加帕蒂南出土
印度坦米爾納德邦納加帕蒂南（Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu）出土。納加帕蒂南地處印度南部，早於西元前一世紀即以最古老佛寺而知名。波羅王朝（Pala，約8～12世紀）和朱羅王朝（Chola，約850～1267）期間該地宗教與藝術皆興盛發展，佛像特徵如髻頂置火焰紋飾、額頭白毫相、掌心千輻輪相及袈裟邊緣的線形鑲邊等，均與北方迥然不同。
該像刻劃佛成道相。佛臉形方圓，作冥想狀。肩膀寬厚，體型健碩。手結禪定印，半跏趺坐於金剛座上，立面刻並列的護獅。佛頭光兩側各雕一脇侍，均束高髻，手執拂子，身體向佛傾斜。頭光上置菩薩樹，樹叢中央立傘蓋，形式規則，自成一格。
