Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva

Sandstone

王永建造觀音菩薩龕像

中國

該龕龕楣淺刻帷幕式華蓋,龕內為觀音菩薩五尊像;下方台座中央浮雕博山形香爐,兩側各跪坐二供養人,面向博山形香爐雙手合十,態度虔敬。
 主尊觀音頭戴寶冠,繒帶長垂肩側,面方額寬,長眉細目,大鼻薄唇,表情端嚴。佩項飾,身著長袍,胸前繫帶,褶紋線條直長,略顯厚重和形式化。雙手屈肘,右手上抬持蓮,左手垂下提香囊,立於覆蓮台上。兩側各有二脇侍立像,眉目疏朗,衣飾簡潔,形象端莊,身軀較小,以突顯主尊。
 整體配置對稱工整,風格簡樸,刀法精練,為北魏(386~534)向隋(581~618)唐(618~907)過渡時期的典型式樣。
 該龕像背面銘刻「保定五年(565)歲次乙酉九月辛亥/朔七日丁巳佛弟子王永建□/□景達子高兄弟子姪等敬造/觀世音像一區為七世父母所/生父母因緣眷屬伏願生存之/者四體康和陸府朝□壽命延/萇供養三寶為一切眾生離苦/□樂發菩提心俱成正覺」。
