Horyuji Temple Golden Hall: Mahadevi

法隆寺毗沙門天王及吉祥天像

日本

位於金堂。據《金堂日記》記載,金堂主尊以釋迦三尊像為中心,其左邊為毗沙門天王,右邊是吉祥天。吉祥天為施福德之女神,是作為祈願國泰民安、五穀豐登時舉行吉祥悔過會之主尊,自平安時代(794~1185)後期廣受尊奉。一九六七年指定為日本國寶。
 二像皆以檜木整材雕造,再接合肩膀、手腕等細部,像內刳空。至今仍保存當初的豐麗彩色,大型的團花紋樣與漆繪金箔。姿態近乎直立,動作拘謹,表情靜謐,衣紋淺雕,具古風之韻味。
 毗沙門天頭戴透雕三角形寶冠,冠旁繒帶垂掛前身,帶鏤空法輪形頭光,邊飾火焰狀。面相敦厚,五官較小,表情溫文。身著披肩、胸甲、鰭袖及護脛等,右手屈臂托寶塔,左手握戟,一副武將裝束。
 吉祥天頭結高髻,並戴刻飾紋樣的寶冠,圓形頭光由內部放射線條,左手持寶珠,右手垂下,手指微屈,臉龐、身軀豐盈圓潤,姿態典雅,被視為平安時代典型的美人形象。
