Ink and color on silk

父母恩重經變相

甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土

甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土。依據《父母恩重經》繪製而成。居中繪一佛二菩薩,佛面相方圓,雙肩寬厚,右手舉於胸前作說法印,左手撫膝,結跏趺坐於蓮座上。一佛二菩薩周圍繪眾弟子與菩薩,兩側以連環畫的形式按順時針方向依次表現經變故事。
 一佛二菩薩上部畫面分為兩層,上層繪結跏趺坐之七佛,儀貌坐姿基本相同,印相各異;下層中央繪佛結跏趺坐於樓閣式塔中,塔兩側侍立二弟子,再兩側分別有上下並列的三座樓閣式塔浮於雲端,最外兩側表現浮於雲端的珠、輪、象、女、馬、主兵臣、居士等七寶。
 一佛二菩薩下方中央有抄寫經文的方形榜題,兩側為聽法眾比丘、優婆塞、優婆夷等。畫面最下層中部為北宋淳化二年(991)繪製此經變相的榜題;左側為戴冠、握錫杖的地藏菩薩,右側為左手持柳枝、右手執幡的觀世音菩薩及供養人等。此圖結構嚴謹,構圖飽滿,用線、設色均顯得工整精緻。
