Nagarjunakonda: Life of the Buddha

Limestone

龍樹丘遺址佛傳圖

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。該浮雕石板以三段連續性畫面刻劃悉達多太子誕生前後的故事。下段是淨飯王召集宮廷婆羅門相師為摩耶夫人占夢。中段左側摩耶夫人在藍毗尼園手攀無憂樹枝,右側四天王手捧長條形襁褓,空中漂浮著傘蓋與拂子,襁褓上的七個小足印中心均雕有法輪,意喻剛誕生的太子行走七步。上段右側相師阿私陀在淨飯王面前為太子占相,阿私陀手捧布巾,上刻有一雙足印,象徵小太子;左側畫面宮女雙手亦捧布巾,上刻有代表小太子的佛足印,正參謁神廟的天神,其時天神現身,躬身合掌向小太子禮拜。
 此佛傳圖中未成佛的太子,仍以象徵方式來表現。畫面人物體型修長,線條柔和優美,姿態活潑,特別展現女性優美的韻律,是延續阿瑪拉瓦提成熟時期的風格,這些優點在此作品中展現無遺。
