Mogao Cave 17: Eleven-Headed, Six-Armed Avalokitesvara

Ink and color on linen

十一面六臂觀音菩薩像

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。圖中十一面觀音幾乎占滿整個畫面。觀音立於蓮台上,主面兩旁為慈悲及忿怒面,寶冠上三層分別有四面、三面及化佛面。觀音主二手於胸前拈蓮花,上二手各托日輪和月輪,下二手分別持淨瓶與念珠。
 觀音左腳旁有二身女供養人及一童子,女供養人上方榜題「阿婆壹心供養」,另一女供養人右側題有「阿娘壹心供養」。對面是男供養人,已不易辨識,但仍見題記「燉煌鄉右丞將/隊頭徐奴子壹心供養」,得知供養人為徐奴子。
