Taisanji Temple: Samantabhadra Bodhisattva
Nutmeg wood
普賢菩薩像
日本
該像約雕造於十世紀下半葉，為日本普賢菩薩延命像中現存年代最早的遺例。傳說原為大分市柞原八幡宮普賢堂之主尊，明治時代（1868～1912）初期神佛分離之際移至鄰近大山寺。為增福延命，普賢菩薩亦被奉為密教普賢延命法之主尊。一九七五年指定為日本重要文化財。
菩薩由榧木整材雕造，像高87.7公分，雙足以榫頭接合。結跏趺坐於白象馱負的多重蓮座上，蓮座及上下二層象座為後來補上。身後為圓形大背光，頭光刻飾蓮瓣紋樣。原有二十隻手臂，現存十六隻，大部分的手臂為後補。除四手屈臂於正面，其餘由肩後伸展成弧形，手中無持物，手勢對稱。頭綰圓形大寶髻，戴天冠，面相豐圓，五官深刻，佩戴瓔珞、臂釧、腕釧等裝飾，乃平安時代（794～1185）前期雕刻之特色。
