楊思勗等造一佛二菩薩龕像

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。龕像早先原置於光宅寺,後寺毀移至寶慶寺,清(1644~1911)末流散至海外。該件為流傳至日本龕像之一,現為日本重要文化財。
 龕楣雕飾寶蓋,蓋頂置一圓珠,檐角垂掛寶珠,間飾珠串、流蘇等。左右角為飛天曼舞,帔帛上揚,雲朵飄浮,展現遨遊飛翔之姿,神態動人。
 佛弧形雙眉連接鼻梁,雙眼微睜,神情安詳。偏袒右肩袈裟褶紋疏朗流暢,如曹衣出水。右手臂已損,左手置於膝上,呈倚坐姿,雙足垂踏蓮莖分枝展開的蓮花。
 佛左脇菩薩右手上舉寶瓶,左手握帛帶;右脇菩薩左手執拂,右手提淨瓶。皆綰高髻,戴花冠,肩寬腰細,呈「S」形立姿。腹前束帶,下裙向外翻折,輕薄貼體,褶紋流轉。整體造像雕刻細緻,生動寫實,具豐厚柔韌之美,為盛唐(712~756)的典型作品。
 此像刻有銘記「虢國公楊花台銘並序原夫真性即空從色聲而有相道源無體因法教以□流所以人天捨千萬之資神鬼建由旬之塔金衣紺髮盡留多寶之台銀疊青蓮並入真珠之藏湛然釋氏一千餘年輔國大將軍虢國公楊等皆天子貴臣忠義盡節……書工紀事乃為銘□判官亳州臨渙縣尉申屠液撰」。
