水月觀音菩薩圖

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。觀音頭戴花冠,冠上罩輕羅,身披瓔珞和帔帛,遊戲坐於蓮池中的岩石上,旁邊的石台上置一淨瓶,內插楊柳枝。背後有大背光,姿態飄逸恬適。輕羅以白色線條畫出,呈現透明中帶有條紋的質感,更顯靈動脫俗。
 圖左下方繪身著漢式朝服、戴冠帽的男子及童僕,男子可能是此圖的供養人,其手持香爐,裊裊香煙化為蓮花。圖右下方有四身正在歡欣樂舞者,髮型和服裝均為典型的西夏(1032~1227)党項族服飾。一般而言,善財童子多繪於水月觀音的下方,然此圖的童子則乘雲朵浮於虛空中,雙手合十向觀音禮拜,或因繪有四身樂舞者,而改變了傳統的構圖方式。另一說,善財童子應為冠服男子往生後的童子身形。
 背景中的竹林、岩石和流水以水墨表現,自然融為一體。全圖畫風洗練考究,明顯受到宋代(960~1279)畫風影響。為黑水城出土畫作中之精品。
