Limestone

阿瑪拉瓦提六牙象王本生圖

印度安得拉邦阿瑪拉瓦提遺址出土

印度安得拉邦(Andhra Pradesh)阿瑪拉瓦提遺址(Amaravati)出土,刻劃佛陀於過去世生為六牙象王的故事。此類作品廣泛出現於巴爾胡特、桑奇、犍陀羅和阿旃陀的美術作品中,是印度地區非常流行的題材。
 作品採取一圖數景的構圖方式表現,共分五個場景。下方是象王與象后等在蓮池中沐浴。中央右側表現山中的象王,其側有持傘蓋和拂子的大象。右上方可見象王在林中行走,其足間為潛伏在洞穴裡的獵人,僅露出上半身,正舉頭窺探。左上方刻劃象王前腳伏跪,安靜地任由獵人鋸下象牙。最上端是獵人擔著象牙返回的場景。畫面其餘空間飾以岩石、樹木或象、豬、鹿等動物,不留任何空白。
 犍陀羅美術通常按照時間順序來安排故事場景,而在印度則多傾向以事件發生的地點來構圖。
