大勢至菩薩像

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。十三世紀作品。大勢至菩薩身側向左方,手結印,端坐於青色重瓣大蓮座上。蓮座伴隨雲氣自海中升起,海浪波紋描繪細膩,間飾白色碎浪花。華蓋、頭光火焰紋、髮梢及天衣下襬輕搖,表現出海風微拂的情景。
 菩薩彎眉斂目。髮為紺青色,束髮綹,飾有以下緣點綴小珠的白色髮帶,寶冠中央飾寶瓶,為大勢至菩薩之特徵。亦如《佛說觀無量壽經》所載,大勢至菩薩戴有天冠,冠中有五百寶蓮花,每一寶蓮花有五百寶台,顯現十方諸佛清淨微妙之國土。頂有肉髻,上有一寶瓶,瓶內盛諸光明,普現種種之佛事。
 其身嚴飾瓔珞、臂釧和腕釧。斜搭深綠色絡腋,橘紅色帔帛以淺色繪出紋樣,長裙為粉紅色,褶紋繁複,其間可見珠飾。頭光以單純的青色表現,外緣竄出細細的火焰紋,透明身光施以淡淡的白色。華蓋描繪含蓄,無過多色彩,宛如一束懸於空中的花束,由褐色細線繪成的飄降卷雲圍繞著。作品設色淡雅,精巧細緻。
