Paitava: Maitreya Bodhisattva and Figures Making Offerings

彌勒菩薩及供養人像
阿富汗帕爾旺省貝格拉姆派特瓦佛寺遺址出土
阿富汗帕爾旺省貝格拉姆（Bagram, Parwan）派特瓦（Paitava）佛寺遺址出土，貝格拉姆即為迦畢試（Kapisa）古城。浮雕以彌勒菩薩為中心。菩薩居中而立，帶頭光，束髮髻，戴項圈、瓔珞，大衣敷搭左肩垂至膝下再環繞搭掛在右臂上，右手施無畏印，左手提水瓶，表現的是彌勒菩薩在兜率天說法。其左右供養天人正面並立，共計八人，有男有女還有童子。男子四人戴敷巾冠飾或束髮，二女子綰髻，梳髮辮，穿長袍，左端二童子著短衣，每人手中持供物，另一手舉花葉。
這些供養者的形象，或許反映著當地遊牧民族人物的宗教禮儀真實情況。畫面人物均以正面表現，也是古迦畢試地區的寺院浮雕造像常用的雕刻手法。
