Mogao Cave 17: Sakyamuni Buddha and Heavenly Beings
Ink and color on paper
釋迦牟尼佛及諸天像
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。圖繪釋迦牟尼佛、辯才天、吉祥天、毗沙門天王與二神祇，共六身，為少見的繪畫題材。
釋迦牟尼佛身著紅色袈裟，雙手結印，立於蓮台上，蓮台原可能貼金。佛左側為辯才天和吉祥天，腳下皆踏寶山。辯才天三面八臂，分持弓、箭、鐵輪、●（上四+下絹）索等法器，造型醒目；吉祥天頭戴高冠，冠上披紅色頭巾，左手持紅蓮。
佛右側為毗沙門天王，身著鎧甲，左手托寶塔，右手執長戟，雙足由堅牢地神承載，另有二地天捧足。天王身邊跟隨二神祇，一頭戴獅頭冠，左手托圓形物，右手拈紅色三瓣花朵；另一膚色暗綠，右手持水瓶。
作品雖已變色，然從顏料剝落處可發現當初鮮明的色調，推測為十世紀之畫作。
