Embroidery of Offerings to Mahakala - Seven Treasures of the Cakravartin

貼花繡供物圖

蒙古

十九世紀末貼花繡作品,為供養大黑天之用。藏傳佛教寺院護法殿,通常供奉類似的織繡品或唐卡,上繡各式各樣的供物,一般不現主尊圖像。
 圖中央蓮座僅現五骷髏寶冠、帔帛、象皮、骷髏鬘,以及銳劍和長矛等物,象徵未現形的大黑天。蓮座前方布置供壇,壇內有三列供物:第一列中央放置一座三角形的朵瑪,其兩側為骨鉢和酥油燈,第二列有七個骨鉢,第三列為成對的樂器。供壇底部設意寓佛教宇宙觀的須彌山壇城,周圍為四大洲所環繞。壇城兩側有牛、羊等各種動物。
 圖上部垂飾花環,下方有十三隻似渡鴉的黑鳥正飛躍山嶺。山巒下亦有諸多供物,第一排左側為華蓋、雙魚、寶瓶、蓮花、法螺、吉祥結、勝利幢及法輪等八吉祥;右側是輪、象、馬、珠、女、居士、主兵臣等七政寶。第二排左右皆為食供養。第三排則陳列苯教之七寶物、法器、樂器和兵器等。
 此作品為蒙古繡師於烏爾加(Urga,今烏蘭巴托Ulaanbaatar)製造,以各色貼花材料如緞子、錦緞等,運用挑繡、莖繡、拼布等多種技巧,表現琳瑯滿目的供物,構圖飽滿有序,流露出豪華富麗之感。
