金剛亥母像

內蒙古自治區阿拉善盟額濟納旗黑水城出土

內蒙古自治區阿拉善盟額濟納旗黑水城出土,為該地區唐卡中的精品之一。金剛亥母為藏傳佛教密宗本尊神,勝樂金剛的智慧伴侶。
 一般以金剛亥母表現的題材中,或被單獨描繪,或繪成被勝樂金剛擁抱的智慧佛母。此金剛亥母以單尊表現,一面二臂三目,紅色身相,五骷髏冠上飾有半月、法輪和鑲嵌珠寶的三角形裝飾,臉部右側繪一青色豬頭面,色彩已脫落。身披碎花白帔帛,頸掛人頭鬘,左手當胸持嗄巴拉碗,肘中挾卡章嘎杖,右手上舉握金剛鉞刀,右腳盤起,呈舞立姿踏於陪臚上。身後紅色背光中繪六身眷屬,膚色各異,皆腳踏夜叉,除左上角紅色眷屬為三面六臂,其餘皆四臂。金剛亥母的背光及蓮座外的空白處以八塔和樹木分隔出八場景,即八大屍陀林。
 唐卡上方中央繪雙身像,其餘為四身空行母;亥母左右兩側共十位人物,分別繪於十個方格內,格上方懸掛帷幔,人物或站,或立,或騎虎、象,形象為年輕僧人和印度大成就者,身旁皆有一空白長方形榜題,應為書寫漢文或西夏文而設,與書寫藏文的橫式題榜有別,為西夏唐卡的特徵之一。尤以畫面左邊中間身穿咖啡色袈裟的僧人,坐於狀似山崖景色前,為黑水城唐卡中少見的繪畫手法。畫面最下方為六位空行母,手托金盤,披白色帔帛。
