Bharhut: Saddanta Jataka

Red sandstone

巴爾胡特遺址六牙象王本生圖

印度中央邦阿拉哈巴德瑟德納縣巴爾胡特遺址出土

印度中央邦阿拉哈巴德瑟德納縣(Satna, Allahabad, Madhya Pradesh)巴爾胡特遺址(Bharhut)出土。原為佛塔圍欄石柱浮雕,故事取材自南傳《本生經》,刻劃佛陀過去世為六牙象王,因摘蓮贈與身旁象妃,招致另一象妃嫉恨自殺,此妃並立下毒誓︰「若身為人,當奪象王六牙!」後轉世為人,成為一國王妃,並遣人獵殺象王,取得六根象牙。
 石柱從畫面中央斷裂,但圖像尚保存完好,細節清晰可辨。故事雕於一圓形石板內,採用一圖數景的連續性構圖,表現了兩個發生在不同時間和地點的情節。畫面上方中央以一棵大樹代表森林,右側是森林中的象王,和頭戴蓮花及心生嫉妒的象妃;左側是獵人企圖鋸下六牙象王象牙的場面。
