Bodhisattva in Contemplation

Gilt bronze

思惟菩薩半跏像

韓國

菩薩坐於圓凳台座上,上身稍向前傾,左腳垂踏覆蓮台,左膝支撐右足,整尊連台座一體鑄造。右手是後來改換的木製品,推斷原來右手應該輕觸臉頰,作思惟狀。約鑄於七世紀,現為日本重要文化財。
 菩薩頭戴富麗高聳的寶冠,乃源自波斯薩珊王朝(Sassanid,224~651)的皇冠,中央上方有新月托一似寶珠物,冠兩側造型如鳥翼,懸掛流蘇。腰身兩旁垂掛飾物,則仿六世紀中國宮廷衣著造型。此雕像外表雖然因火災損壞而顯得粗糙,但優雅的形體和纖細的線刻,成為日本現存最佳的思惟菩薩像之一。
 該像具有韓國三國時期(57 BCE~668)的雕像風格。下裙沿著右足成弧形,階梯式的衣褶以重複的拋物線模式覆蓋台座,可見該菩薩像屬百濟時期(18 BCE~663)的造型。其製作地點說法不一,或說是在韓半島鑄後帶入日本,或是韓國匠師移居日本所作。
