獨角仙人本生圖

印度北方邦秣菟羅布台薩爾遺址出土

印度北方邦秣菟羅(Mathura, Uttar Pradesh)布台薩爾遺址(Bhuteshwar)出土。原為大塔圍欄柱上的浮雕裝飾。獨角仙人典故有不同版本,《大智度論》卷十七和《經律異相》卷三十九均有記述。佛陀過去世曾為獨角仙人,神通廣大,因一時情染世欲,而喪失神通;後常自憶念禪修法樂,遂返回林間精進修行。
 石柱表面被劃分為上中下三個區間。由上至下按故事情節發展順序鋪陳。上面是從岩石山後顯露半身的四位天女;中間是墜入愛河的獨角仙人與仙女並坐於岩石之上,兩隻鹿相對橫臥於下;最下方的畫面殘損較為嚴重,內容難以辨識。
 該圖以人物刻劃為主體的表現手法,接近犍陀羅美術,與桑奇及南印度佛教美術注重環境描繪、人物多採取密集群像的表現方式大相逕庭。
 秣菟羅地區出土貴霜王朝(約1~3世紀)的本生故事或佛陀一生行蹟浮雕較少,布台薩爾遺址出土的本生故事浮雕尤為罕見。
