Tapa Kalan Stupa 142: Fragment of a Heavenly Being

Stucco

散花天人像

阿富汗楠格哈爾省哈達達帕卡蘭寺院遺址第142號佛塔出土

阿富汗楠格哈爾省哈達(Hadda, Nangarhar)達帕卡蘭(Tapa Kalan)佛寺遺址第142號佛塔出土。佛塔塔壁刻有許多菩薩與文字符號,其中以此身散花天人最為著名。
 此天人應該是圍繞在佛陀周遭眾多天人中的一身。相貌具有希臘青年男子形象特徵,頭髮卷曲,高額,面容俊秀,長髮紮起披於肩部,胸前戴項圈,身軀微側,目光垂落於左下方。左手拉起帔帛一角,衣●(z)裝盛許多花朵於腹前,表情專注,姿態優雅。
 該像塑造技法高超,微傾的身軀從壁面自然探出,極為寫實生動。沿襲希臘文化影響下印度西北地區美術的傳統,是犍陀羅希臘式佛教造像完美的典型。
