Mogao Cave 17: Apsara
飛天
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。繪製於十世紀。描繪於縱長白絹上。
此圖是高達303公分長幡的局部，長幡上繪五身飛天，每身之間繪有祥雲。姿態各異，由上而下分別作擊拍板、持鈸、吹笛或雙手合十以及向上飛躍之姿。飛天身軀與衣著線條皆以朱線勾勒，髮髻施以淡墨，身體和衣褶以淡赭色暈染，用筆疏放，設色簡單。
圖中擊拍板之飛天，曲右足，伸左足；身姿向右，頭部朝左；雙手舉拍板至胸前敲擊；懸掛手臂的帔帛左右翻飛，表現輕快的飛翔。吹笛之飛天，曲左足，伸右足；上半身略見傾斜，吹奏長笛。敦煌出土的畫作不乏此類長幡，推測原件應該更長。
