Sikri: Prophecy of Dipamkara Buddha

Schist

燃燈佛授記圖

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,為佛塔基座裝飾的佛傳浮雕之一。此題材在《六度集經》、《修行本起經》等經典中均有記載。
 圖兩側以希臘科林斯式(Corinthian)壁柱區隔,畫面構圖以身形高大的燃燈佛為重心,佛施無畏印,身後有相隨的弟子。故事從圖左側城門口開始,儒童向女子(耶輸陀羅前世)購買蓮花五枝準備供佛。城門與佛陀之間,表現儒童為迎接燃燈佛,將買來的花擲向空中,散花供佛,花朵止於空中,成為華蓋;下方,儒童伏跪,解髮舖地,由佛踏而過之,佛舉起右手,為儒童授記數劫後當得作佛,號釋迦牟尼;上方,被授記的儒童心喜,踊在虛空,雙手合十向佛禮拜。城門上的欄楯後面,建築列柱之前還有觀看和讚歎的人物。
 儒童在此浮雕上重複出現四次,串連起整個故事,構圖方式承襲印度的表現手法,屬於犍陀羅較早期的代表性作品。
