Mathura: Standing Buddha

Red sandstone

佛立像

印度北方邦秣菟羅出土

印度北方邦秣菟羅(Mathura, Uttar Pradesh)出土。佛著通肩袈裟,隆起的「U」形衣紋排列整齊,左手提握袈裟邊緣,右手施無畏印,指間的縵網相及掌紋明顯可見。半閉的雙眼、排列整齊的螺髮、掌紋、頭光中的植物紋樣及花環等,均為五世紀秣菟羅佛像的特徵,但佛像兩足間配花束或動物等卻是貴霜王朝(約1〜3世紀)造像的特色。
 頭光中的放射狀圖案多見於貴霜王朝後期至笈多王朝(約320〜550)初期。佛像的身材短粗,但肌肉表現具有彈性。佛台座上刻有銘文,但對其中的紀年有兩種說法,一為二三○年,另一說為二八○年。
