Cypress wood

興福寺不空●(上四+下絹)索觀音菩薩像 康慶

日本

位於南圓堂,為該堂之主尊,由雕刻家康慶及其門下所作。不空●(Q)索觀音據《不空●(Q)索神變真言經》記載,為一面三目八臂像,屬密教的造型。該像以檜木多材接合,並以二列並排的角材補強,足部以橫木前後連接,構造特殊,像內安奉有舍利和經卷等寶物。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
 菩薩像高336公分,正面雙手合掌,右三手分持錫杖、蓮苞及施與願印,左三手執蓮花、●(Q)索和略微屈臂手指張開,結跏趺坐於八重蓮座上,座高243.7公分。頭有高髮髻,頂戴透雕寶冠,正面立一化佛。面相圓滿,雙眉修長,目光凝視,唇厚,有髭鬚,顯示大丈夫相。具三眼,左右二眼嵌入黑曜石,額中央縱眼嵌上水晶,此眼為後來補上。軀體豐盈,表現張力,冠旁繒帶垂落胸前,衣紋淺雕,線條流暢。
 身後為蓮瓣形透雕背光,高495.3公分,內部環繞二、三重圈帶,周緣刻飾寶相花卷草紋樣,展現富麗堂皇的氣勢。此像雖是鎌倉時代(1185~1333)初期的作品,卻傳承奈良時代(710~794)興盛期厚實壯碩之量感以及強而有力的特質。
