Sikri: Life of the Buddha - Four Heavenly Kings Offering Bowls
Schist
四天王奉鉢圖
巴基斯坦俾路支省西克里出土
巴基斯坦俾路支省西克里（Sikri, Balochistan）出土。佛傳故事浮雕之一。事見《佛本行集經》卷三十二，釋尊成道後於樹下冥思，兩位商人以麨蜜（麥糊和蜂蜜）供養，四天王得知釋尊無鉢可受食，遂各奉一鉢。
浮雕中，釋尊結跏趺坐於畫面中央的樹下，右手施無畏印，左手握衣角，左右兩側的四天王各捧一鉢欲獻於佛，上方諸天合掌或散花讚歎。
佛傳浮雕中常會出現各種神祇，然犍陀羅地區的神像已融合了印度、希臘、伊朗當地神像的特色。此浮雕捧鉢的四位天王基本與印度王侯裝扮相同，乃佛教融入民間信仰的結果。
