龍樹丘遺址佛塔圖

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。圖中大塔的形制與阿瑪拉瓦提遺址出土、高188公分的佛塔圖基本相同。大塔周有圍欄,四方設門但無塔門。塔基呈圓筒形,正面延伸出一方形台基,上豎立一排五根石柱。台基的正面與大塔覆鉢均刻有佛傳故事的場景,覆鉢頂部雕有平頭與傘蓋,塔頂兩側是成群的飛天與藥叉,舞姿生動活潑。
 浮雕中央下方為大塔圍欄入口,當中主尊立像應為轉輪聖王,戴頭巾,右手上舉,背後雕刻著法輪、珠、象和馬寶;轉輪聖王左右的三位男女可能分別為居士、玉女和將軍寶。圍欄入口兩側各有一個頭頂鉢的藥叉,即後來的毗沙門天,守護在佛塔入口處。藥叉外側分別雕有站立的男子向坐著的婦女買花的情景。
