如意輪觀音菩薩像

日本

如意輪觀音像有二臂、四臂、六臂、十臂等多種造型,此尊為較常見的六臂像。繪製於十二至十三世紀。如意輪觀音為密教觀音像之一,持如意寶珠及法輪以廣濟一切眾生之苦,成就眾生之願望。據中國唐代(618~907)不空譯《觀自在菩薩如意輪瑜伽》,記其形象為「手持如意寶,六臂身金色,皆想於自身,頂髻寶莊嚴,冠坐自在王,住於說法相」,自古廣為世人所崇奉。一九○○年指定為日本重要文化財。
 圖中以月輪為背景,菩薩豎右膝坐於蓮座上,戴化佛寶冠,面相圓潤,雙眉弓形,眼瞼微開。六臂中之右三手分別支頤、托如意寶珠、拈念珠,左三手則按光明山、持長莖蓮花、托寶輪。白色身軀薄施朱色暈染,並以舒緩的朱線描繪。衣服不施紋樣,僅以暈染表現量感,衣紋以金泥勾勒,裙襬屈曲如蛇行。蓮座之蓮瓣暈染漸層彩色,暖色系保存完好。此像雖然繪製於鎌倉時代(1185~1333)初期,卻留存平安時代(794~1185)畫風,表現沉穩。
