甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土。此圖是帶有光澤無底色的平織絹布,由三張「T」形絹布縫綴而成。
 據圖下方中央發願文記載,此圖繪製於五代後晉天福五年(940)七月十五日,是居住在敦煌地區的溫大眼及四兄弟為其亡父溫再德、母親馬氏出資供養。中央題記兩側以竹為背景,各繪一男、女供養人;右側身穿黑袍、戴襆頭、手持長柄香爐者即是其父;左側托花盤女子為母馬氏,各有墨書榜題「故尊父溫再德一心供養」、「慈母馬氏一心供養」。
 此圖上方主題畫面繪主尊彌勒佛,其前供案掛布中央榜題上書「南無彌勒尊佛」。佛身旁圍繞四菩薩、二弟子,由榜題得知菩薩分別為肯持炎菩薩、慈氏菩薩、莊嚴菩薩、大吉祥菩薩,分列佛左右;佛背後二弟子為阿難陀、大目犍連,皆合掌侍立。佛上方華蓋兩旁繪有植物,榜題為「芭蕉樹供養」。
 主尊、菩薩的形姿,頭光、身光的裝飾紋樣等已呈形式化,色調簡單,質地略見脫落。尊像名、供養銘文及題記文字,以蘆葦筆書寫。
