蓮花手觀音成就法像
中國
藏傳佛教於六、七世紀廣泛流行持蓮觀音造像，一般多稱為蓮花手觀音，其中還有世間尊、香王觀音、空行觀音等之別。根據文獻，空行觀音的一個成就法像為白色身相，施與願印，由度母、善財童子、忿怒母及馬頭金剛等相伴。主尊菩薩手灑甘露，其下立有鼓腹的蘇西木卡鳥，正在接受甘露。此組造像表現了觀音三尊與其右下角的一隻巨嘴鳥，且菩薩左邊為四臂女像，符合忿怒母四臂之造型，可視為目前所知唯一具脇侍的空行觀音成就法像。
觀音立於蓮台，寬額長臉，五官刻劃簡約，髮髻高聳，袒上身，裙襬過膝，右手下垂施與願印，左手持長莖蓮花，花頭平肩。戴項圈、手環、臂釧，髮髻與全身皆有瓔珞寶珠嚴飾。脇侍身形嬌小，立於方形台座上，連接橢圓形火焰紋鏤空背光，頂部為寶蓋。台座右下角跪立一鳥首人身供養者。
