Toshodaiji Temple Golden Hall: Brahma and Sakra - Sakra
唐招提寺梵天帝釋天像
日本
位於金堂主尊盧舍那佛二側前方，右邊為梵天，左邊為帝釋天，皆為等身大，雕造於八世紀下半葉。其中，帝釋天為日本木雕帝釋天像中年代最早者。一九五三年指定為日本國寶。
二像頭部及大部分軀體由檜木整材雕出，背面施以內刳，外表局部塗以木屑漆後整形修飾完成。台座覆蓮瓣上繪有人物、馬、兔、蛙、卷草紋等多種圖案。
二像均頭綰高髮髻，面相豐潤，眼鼻特大，立於六角形台座上，法相莊嚴。內著戰袍，外披鰭袖大衣，袖口寬大，裙襬長及台座，略微上卷；肩寬、胸厚、腰粗，下半身稍長，壯碩之體軀表現威風凜然的氣勢。梵天的袖口衣紋呈渦卷狀，乃平安時代（794～1185）初期流行之趨勢。
