勝常寺藥師佛及脇侍像

日本

位於日本福島縣河沼郡勝常寺本堂,為該堂之主尊。刻製於九世紀,為平安時代(794~1185)初期東北地方造像之傑作。日本自奈良時代(710~794)以後,上至朝廷、貴族,下及庶民,為祈願安康及延壽,盛行藥師佛之信仰。三像皆由櫸木整材雕出,再接合細部,像刳空後嵌上蓋板,僅主尊像兼用乾漆塑形。一九九六年指定為日本國寶。
 主尊藥師佛結跏趺坐於仰覆蓮座上,左手持藥壺,右手施無畏印。頭部嵌入大粒螺髮,鼻挺,嘴角內收稍向下彎,表情肅穆。體軀壯碩,身著通肩袈裟,衣紋刻線粗大,似繩條狀,更加深其厚實感。蓮瓣形背光雕有飛天,現僅存一身,其間浮雕葡萄卷草紋樣,外周緣刻飾聯珠紋;內部為二重圓相,採雙線區隔。
 日光、月光二脇侍菩薩端立佛之兩側,綰髮髻,帔帛繞身,垂掛於臂間,跣足立於蓮台上。日光菩薩左手舉至胸前,右手垂下,腰部內收,向左稍扭;月光菩薩之姿勢與其相對,造型一致。
