Life of the Buddha - Great Departure

Sandstone

郭元慶造太子思惟像

中國

此龕像表現悉達多太子踰城出家時與愛馬犍陟及馭者車匿告別時的情景。龕式呈梯形,龕楣上方線刻一排化佛,兩側各一飛天,簡拙純樸。龕內主尊太子像右足平擱左腿膝上,呈半跏坐姿,左手安放於右足上,右手指應支頤,但手臂已毀損。波紋高髮髻,斂目低垂,緊閉雙唇,上身前傾,似作沉思狀。著袒右袈裟,右肩敷搭偏衫。
 太子右邊犍陟前足屈膝於太子座前,吻觸地面,流露依依不捨之情,左邊車匿胡跪合掌。太子兩側人物亦身軀前傾,頭稍低,抄手於胸,態度恭謹,刻劃細膩傳神,技法精湛。
 龕下刻有發願文「唯大代太和十六年(492)歲次壬申正月戊午朔四日辛酉陰密縣□信弟子郭元慶彭□□發願……比丘僧□太子思惟像」。陰密縣約今甘肅省靈台縣西南。匠師依功德主發願文,將太子出家與樹下思惟的情節巧妙地結合在龕像中。
