Bodhisattva in Contemplation
Marble
戎愛洛造思惟菩薩半跏像
中國
菩薩頭戴寶冠，冠旁繒帶披垂於肩側。斂目，俯首，右足盤屈置左膝，左足踏於蓮上，作半跏坐姿。左手撫右足，右手支頤，上身稍微前傾，狀似沉思。頸佩項圈，雙肩帔帛繞臂垂體側，飄至座下。袒上身，下著長裙，衣紋作陰刻雙線，右膝蓋上刻飾渦卷紋，垂覆蓮座的裙襬作多重襞褶，富有裝飾性。
台座正面中央雕刻博山形香爐，兩旁為蹲踞的護法獅，前足單腳抬起，尾巴上翹，側身相向，模樣可愛。整體造像比例適度，刀法簡練，細緻工整。
此像方形台座背面銘刻發願文「武定二年（544）太歲在甲子十月廿日清信士佛弟子戎愛洛妻趙阿賭女慈仁敬造白玉像一軀上為皇帝陛下為亡父亡母亡息善飛普及法界眾一時成道」。
