文成公主廟大日如來及八大菩薩像

中國

位於青海省玉樹藏族自治州玉樹縣巴塘鄉文成公主廟。文成公主廟又稱大日如來佛堂,屬於止貢噶舉派。殿堂供奉大日如來與八大菩薩,計九尊像,中間為大日如來,其左右各侍立四尊菩薩,分上下兩層,主尊左上層為普賢、金剛手菩薩,下為文殊、除蓋障菩薩;右上層為彌勒、虛空藏菩薩,下為地藏、觀音菩薩。大日如來與八大菩薩是藏傳佛教早期造像中經常出現的題材。
 大日如來高約200公分,蓮座高約150公分。高髮髻,戴三葉寶冠,神情莊嚴肅穆。身著對襟翻領長袍,龍紋團花圖案為後期彩繪。雙手結禪定印,結跏趺坐於仰蓮座上,座下二獅相背蹲坐。頭光和背光飾以十字寶相花紋和火焰紋。
 菩薩戴筒狀高花冠,濃眉大眼,著翻領長袍,足蹬皮靴立於蓮台上。頭光亦飾十字寶相花紋和火焰紋。造型是吐蕃時期(7~9世紀)原始樣式,彩繪為後期補繪。圖中為地藏及觀音菩薩,通高皆約250公分,透過其中的題記,可知地藏菩薩雙手持蓮花,觀音菩薩雙手持寶瓶,這與傳統圖像特徵略有出入。持蓮花菩薩立像是西藏佛教早期各種菩薩像的通式,而藉由其不同標識物來辨識造像尊號。
