Mathura: Life of the Buddha - Four Heavenly Kings Offering Bowls
Sandstone
四天王奉鉢圖
印度北方邦秣菟羅伊沙普爾出土
印度北方邦秣菟羅伊沙普爾（Isapur, Mathura, Uttar Pradesh）出土。作品刻劃佛成道後在樹下冥想時，有二過路商人欲以麥糊和蜂蜜供養佛，四天王知佛無鉢可受食，遂各自奉上一鉢。
圖中佛肉髻呈圓形，著偏袒右肩袈裟，左臂下刻有線狀衣褶。右手舉於身側施無畏印，左臂向外張開，左手握拳置於膝上，結跏趺坐於金剛座上。座下有兩頭橫臥的獅子。四天王捧鉢立於四角。作品中的佛陀坐像被視為最早的秣菟羅佛像之一，雖製作粗略，但仍具歷史價值。
