Mogao Cave 17: Traveling Monk

Ink and color on silk

行腳僧像

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。應繪製於九世紀下半葉。
 依據圖右上角榜題「寶勝如來一軀/意為亡弟知球三七/齋畫造慶●(言+賛)供養」,知此圖是供養人為亡弟知球的三七忌日而繪製,繪的是寶勝如來,然尊像卻以伴虎行腳僧形象表現。
 僧人帶頭光,長眉,左手持麈尾,右手執龍頭杖,身旁有一老虎伴隨。內著淡紅色交領僧衣,藍色領緣。外披田相紋藍色袈裟,黑裙褶紋及僧鞋施以暈染。
 僧人背負大型竹笈,上方升起輕煙,外掛有瓢、葫蘆等裝備,腰間亦佩有藍色琉璃瓶及種種物品。其身後有淡紫色雲彩。
 此圖描繪精緻,袈裟田相紋飾金箔,衣著局部以細白線勾描衣邊及褶紋,在細微處描繪得一絲不苟。
 另外,僧人面部、耳朵、胸前施以紅色暈染,身體以紅線重疊勾描,老虎的頭部亦可見紅色暈染。
