Guangzhai Temple Seven Jewel Tower: Buddha Triad Niche

Limestone

一佛二菩薩龕像

原陝西省西安市寶慶寺七寶台

原位於陝西省西安市寶慶寺七寶台之浮雕龕像。龕像原屬武則天(684~705在位)於長安(今陝西西安)所建光宅寺內之物,後寺毀移至寶慶寺,清(1644~1911)末殘存的三十多件浮雕佛龕分別流散至中國、日本與美國等處。該件為流傳至日本龕像之一,現為日本重要文化財。
 龕楣中央雕飾人首鳥身像,正面站立,展開雙翼,推測為金翅鳥,或是天龍八部之緊那羅或乾闥婆。兩旁各有一人乘鳥展翅相對,角落並刻飾雲紋。
 佛倚坐於中央,右手上舉施無畏印,左手垂放於左膝,足踏枝蔓延伸開展成的雙蓮台。高肉髻,面相方圓,頭光刻劃二層圓圈,周緣繞以多角半圓弧紋,具裝飾效果。身軀健碩,內著僧祇支,外披袈裟,腰間束帶,神情肅穆。
 兩側脇侍菩薩採相對立姿,髮髻高聳,帶蓮瓣形頭光,肩闊腰細,稍扭腰身,斜披絡腋,下著羊腸裙,襞褶線條自然明快。
