Horyuji Temple: Amitabha Buddha Triad
Gilt bronze
阿彌陀佛三尊像
日本
該像為日本現存年代最早的阿彌陀佛三尊像，鑄造於七世紀，鎏金彩繪，是奈良法隆寺獻納寶物第144號，現為日本重要文化財。
飛鳥時代（538～645）後期因阿彌陀佛信仰而興起造像，此像乃當時留存之實例。三尊像之台座大致完好，但主尊的背光、脇侍的頭光均已佚失。
主尊阿彌陀佛高28.4公分，倚坐於台座上，右手作無畏印，左手結與願印，雙足垂踏蓮台。肉髻螺髮，袈裟下襬垂覆座前，呈摺疊波紋。左脇侍觀音菩薩高21.1公分，頂飾化佛；右脇侍大勢至菩薩高21.3公分，頂戴寶瓶。二脇侍菩薩皆端立於由台座伸出蓮莖開敷的蓮花上，戴三葉冠飾，佩長串瓔珞等裝飾，帔帛垂掛於胳臂，飄落體側，舉止端莊。
由阿彌陀佛的倚坐姿及脇侍菩薩的三面寶冠、瓔珞樣式，皆展示出中國北齊（550～577）至隋代（581～618）的特色。須彌台座背面刻有銘文「山田殿像」。
