Pair of Standing Bodhisattvas
Gilt bronze
雙菩薩立像
中國
二菩薩作立姿，均右手朝上施無畏印，左手朝下作與願印。頸飾桃形項圈，肩披帔帛交叉於腹前，下身著裙，衣服的樣式繼承北魏（386～534）遷都洛陽以後的穿著，和太和時期（477～499）的菩薩明顯不同。帔帛和裙襬均內縮不外張，雙手亦緊靠身體，身體側面腹部微凸，立體感強，身軀的表現緊湊，全像雖小，卻頗具量感。
背光趨近寶珠形，側面視之，呈弧形，是北齊（550～577）以來的特徵。頭光內圈作蓮瓣形，最外圈作火焰紋，陰刻線條流暢。不論背光的造型、或是尊像的風格與圖像模式均和河北曲陽修定寺出土的石造像十分近似。
尊像、背光及圓台一體鑄成，四足方台鍛接。四足方台右側面至背面右側陰刻銘文「開皇六年（586）十月五日敬造像二區為父母溟福」。
