Buddha Protected by Mucalinda

Sandstone

龍王護佛像

傳泰國巴真府出土

傳泰國巴真府(Prachinburi)出土。此作品正面開龕,內雕龍王護佛像,佛半跏趺坐於盤龍上,作禪定狀。肉髻特別高聳,螺髮齊整。頭後七龍頭仰起,頂端一頭,另外六頭左右對稱呈扇狀排列。龕楣上方飾蓮瓣,龕兩側雕立柱。
 背面上下開龕,上層龕楣呈三葉形,龕內雕八臂觀音,二主臂下垂,掌心向外;上二臂握蓮莖,蓮莖頂端延伸至三葉龕楣之間,化作小龕,內供奉佛坐像;右側餘臂分持念珠、經書,左側則持驅象具、淨瓶。下層龕內造像共有五面十臂,應為般若菩薩。
 二側面亦上下開龕,右側上層龕內男像四臂,分持念珠、蓮花、經書和淨瓶,可能為觀音菩薩;下層為多羅菩薩,一手結與願印,一手施無畏印。左側上層龕內男像為金剛手菩薩,下層龕內為一女像。
 此造像明顯地融合了傳統佛教與密教圖像特徵,也許為泰國或柬埔寨作品,從造像造型、服飾表現和龍頭的形式,推測應為十世紀作品。
