Maitreya Bodhisattva and Attendants

Ink and color on silk

彌勒菩薩及脇侍像

中國

約繪製於十四世紀。彌勒菩薩頭戴三花寶冠,寶冠上有五尊化佛,寶冠兩邊垂吊飾帶。斂目垂視,蓄留髭鬚,緊閉嘴唇,神態安詳。左手托莖柄,右手持蓮花,花上置寶塔,結跏趺坐於八角高台多重仰蓮座上。菩薩身披袈裟,瓔珞嚴身,在宋(960~1279)元(1271~1368)佛畫中很多。圓形頭光猶如皎月,背光透明,照徹虛空。
 彌勒菩薩台座兩側為脇侍菩薩,比例較小,戴冠,雙手持法物舉於胸前,雙足分踏蓮花,作對稱姿態;肌膚稍加暈染。
 釋迦牟尼佛曾預言授記,約人間五十七億六千萬年後,彌勒菩薩將下生人間,於龍華樹下成佛,分三會說法。
