清水寺十一面千手觀音菩薩像
日本
位於日本京都市東山區清水寺本堂。傳說該寺主尊十一面千手觀音菩薩像雕造於奈良時代（710～794），與二脇侍地藏菩薩、毗沙門天王像供奉於須彌壇上三座佛龕內，三十三年開扉一次。該像仿龕內主尊於江戶時代（1615～1868）刻製，安置於龕前，供眾參拜。三十三年開扉一次，乃緣自《妙法蓮華經》卷七〈普門品〉之記載，觀音菩薩三十三應化身。
菩薩十一面四十二臂，其中二臂舉至頭頂，以掌心承托化佛坐像，造型獨特，被稱為「清水型觀音」。主四臂以捧鉢、合掌之姿置於正面，其餘手臂較為纖細，從身後伸展成圓形，分持器物，對稱勻整。戴鏤空透雕寶冠，冠旁繒帶垂掛身前，臉形長圓，細眉，眼瞼微開，厚唇內收，面相端嚴。頸部刻三道紋，佩胸飾、手環，帔帛自兩肩對稱飄垂於體側，長裙覆至足踝，跣足立於多重仰覆蓮台上。
