Mathura: Seated Buddha
Sandstone
佛坐像
印度北方邦秣菟羅安優爾出土
印度北方邦秣菟羅安優爾（Anyor, Mathura, Uttar Pradesh）出土。佛頭部風化嚴重，頭頂似有雕鑿螺髮的痕跡，肉髻殘損。臉形豐腴，大眼，厚唇，嘴角上翹浮現古風式微笑等特徵，展現典型的印度本土人種形象。佛右手施無畏印，左手提握僧衣下襬。厚重的通肩袈裟上陰刻著整齊的「U」形衣紋，顯然是受犍陀羅佛像影響。
方形台座正面中央刻有結禪定印的佛坐像，兩側各有一脇侍，兩端各雕一蹲獅。台座上下邊緣刻有紀年銘文，並稱其為「菩薩」。據銘文推測此像應為貴霜王朝（約1〜3世紀）二世紀下半葉之作品。
