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。十世紀下半葉作品。觀音菩薩一尊描繪於每5.4公分寬有二十行縱格的淡褐色紙上,占據了整個畫面。菩薩為正面像,戴三葉寶冠,寶冠上無化佛,飾耳璫、項圈、瓔珞、臂釧、腕釧等,膚色施以紅色暈染。左手托紅色蓮蕾,右手於肩前拈楊柳枝,結跏趺坐於蓮座上。多層頭光及身光由紅、綠、黃不同顏色同心圓光輪組成,身光外緣飾火焰紋。最外周圓大背光以白色月輪環繞。頂上三朵花樣似的懸垂寶蓋。圖左上角長方形墨書題記「救苦觀世音菩薩」。
 此圖墨線用蘆葦筆勾描,描繪於頭光、身光的圓弧形墨線及雙手的輪廓線等,構圖稍嫌促迫,榜題書法則顯得力道十足。菩薩臉頰用紅色暈染,現已呈暗黑色。畫面有染污的斑點狀出現,畫面四角的孔洞推測為懸掛窟院內之用。
