Mogao Cave 17: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
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。二幅畫各繪持幡菩薩一尊，占據整個畫面。依菩薩戴的化佛寶冠，判定為觀音。二者手持長竿掛幡，倚於肩上，作引路菩薩形象。畫幡下端中央為願文榜題，兩側繪男女供養人。此二幡構圖、內容相同，方向相反，適成對稱，樣式、畫法及上端吊環幾乎都相同，應是同組作品。
二菩薩分別略側向左、右，立於雙蓮台上，頭光飾有美麗的花紋，所持長幡分段設色，隨風飄動。二菩薩的衣著、裝飾大致相同，唯一尊右手持長柄香爐，另一尊則左手結印於肩前，且唇微啟。頭光旁均有榜題，並點綴花葉。供養人的服飾亦大致相同，從男供養人戴的襆頭樣式判斷，應繪製於十世紀中葉。
