Ink and color on silk

不空●(上四+下絹)索觀音菩薩像

甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土

甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土。主尊不空●(上四+下絹)索觀音頭戴化佛寶冠,耳璫、項圈、瓔珞、臂釧、腕釧嚴身,身披絡腋,左肩披覆黑底白紋鹿皮,紅、白帔帛繞臂,下著花色長裙,結跏趺坐於蓮座上。胸前二手拈長莖蓮花,餘六臂或結印或分持●(上四+下絹)索、寶珠、淨瓶、「卍」字寶印等。其頭光有波狀光芒;身光有多種紋樣,以花朵圈出身光的最外緣。頂上華蓋飾寶珠,綴流蘇,後方寶樹開出美麗的花朵。菩薩的蓮座自方形蓮池升起,前設置有香爐、寶瓶的供案。
 不空●(上四+下絹)索觀音兩側有二天王、二弟子及六菩薩。最上方的天王從持弓和劍可判斷是東方持國天王和西方廣目天王。二弟子皆帶頭光,雙手合十,身披袈裟。弟子旁的菩薩一身手捧寶珠,一身合十;其餘菩薩二身雙手合十,二身捧花盤供養。
 圖下方繪男、女供養人各二身,分居供案兩側,榜題均未書寫文字。此圖背景繪有黃色格紋與花點,從供養人的服飾與主尊的頭光、身光判斷,應繪製於十世紀下半葉。
