King Mindon Making Offerings to the Sangha

Ink and color on paper

敏敦王供僧圖

緬甸

作品出自緬甸十九世紀中葉之繪本,全本共三十六摺頁,每頁高54公分,寬24.5公分。繪本記載一八五四及一八五六年時,貢榜王朝(Konbaung,1752~1885)敏敦王(Mindon,1853~1878在位)於宮中盛大供養比丘。
 此圖以五摺畫面描繪供僧法筵。中央鋪設一方形紅地毯,其左上方為國王與王后坐於黃色小地毯上,面前羅列種種供物,身後敷坐其他宮人。演奏音樂的樂師群位於畫面前端,另有穿紅袍戴帽的群臣,雙手合十。畫面左側為接受供養的比丘,皆以巨扇遮面,外圍有皇家衛兵環繞。當時所供養之物,除了不可或缺之生活資具外,尚包括經篋、貝葉經、經本莊嚴布、牀、蚊帳、香料、蠟燭及掃帚等。
 圖下方的緬甸文詳載供僧之前,國王以甘露水灑地,召請地神見證共享法喜和活動過程;另也記錄了所耗費用等細節。圖中場面排列整齊,人物刻劃細緻,生動再現當時的情景。
