Limestone

龍樹丘遺址踰城出家圖

印度安得拉邦龍樹丘遺址出土

印度安得拉邦(Andhra Pradesh)龍樹丘遺址(Nagarjunakonda)出土。此長方形浮雕嵌板以上中下三段連續性畫面描述悉達多太子出家的故事。下段是太子與愛馬犍陟和御者車匿告別的場面,畫面左側太子摘下身上的珠寶,割下長髮交給車匿,車匿含淚親吻主人的腳;右側是車匿牽馬返回都城。中段是諸神供養佛髮場面,畫面中央,一名天神張開雙臂,以頭和雙手承托盛有佛髮的大盤,其兩側各有五名天神,或伸出雙手,或合掌禮拜。上段描繪車匿與犍陟回到迦毗羅衛國,傳達了太子出家的消息,王宮內一片悲慟,畫面左側寶座上的淨飯王仰天長嘆;右側宮女們攙扶著悲痛欲絕的耶輸陀羅。整體構圖豐富,人物刻劃生動。
 龍樹丘的佛教故事浮雕,或以象徵示意,或以具體人物表現佛陀的存在,此作品採用了後者的作法。嵌板上分隔的壁柱刻劃蓮花、植物和動物等裝飾,雕刻細緻精美。
