Okadera Temple Main Hall: Cintamanicakra Avalokitesvara
Clay
岡寺如意輪觀音菩薩像
日本
位於日本奈良縣高市郡明日香村岡寺本堂，為該堂之主尊，約彩塑於八世紀下半葉，是日本現存古代塑像中最大者，亦是如意輪觀音像遺例中年代最早之作。據傳該像之供養人為道鏡和尚，由東大寺的造佛所製作。推測該像塑造當初為一面二臂，左足垂下之半跏像，頭部大體上仍保存當初的造型，但坐姿改變，身軀表層多為後來補塑。一九○一年指定為日本重要文化財。
菩薩右手施無畏印，左手結與願印，結跏趺坐。頭頂綰寶髻，條縷清晰，對稱工整。臉頰飽滿，五官端正，弧形雙眉，目光銳利，氣宇軒昂的法相，為奈良時代（710～794）造像的特色。石造台座與木製背光被認為是塑造當初的物件，背光上描繪的飛天圖樣為當時罕見的繪畫資料而備受矚目。
