Amitabha Buddha

Gilt bronze

李伯息造無量壽佛立像

中國

佛立於蓮台上,臉形長圓,著通肩袈裟,衣服質感厚,不注重身體結構概念的表達,衣褶細密,於左側後方成「Z」形。右手掌心向外,施無畏印,左手執衣角。背光中央為蓮花紋,第二層為幾何卷曲紋,外層為火焰紋。背面陰刻菩薩立像,左手執淨瓶,右手持蓮苞,是北魏(386~534)五世紀常見的觀音造型;身軀壯碩,上身戴交叉形瓔珞,下身著裙,裙薄貼身,衣褶細密,整體造型古拙雄強。
 尊像、四足方台與背光為一體鑄成。四足方台四面刻銘文「太和九年(485)歲在乙丑二月戊戌朔廿七日甲子佛弟子李伯息為余身所生父母兄弟大小造無量壽佛一區」。與無量壽佛相關的經典早在二世紀末就已譯出漢文本,然造像不多,中國北方目前所見最早的例子是西秦建弘元年(420)甘肅永靖炳靈寺石窟第169窟無量壽佛像,本件作品是北朝(386~581)存世不多的作品之一。
