天王像

新疆維吾爾自治區吐魯番市鄯善縣吐峪溝石窟發現

新疆維吾爾自治區吐魯番市鄯善縣吐峪溝石窟發現。畫幡僅存幡頭、幡身與幡手。幡足已佚,且作品多處破損。
 幡身正面及背面各繪天王一身,造型近乎一致,皆束髮戴冠,帶頭光,腰身微彎,身著鎧甲,膝蓋處以帶子束綁,壯碩而威武。
 正面的天王略朝向左而立,雙眼大睜,眼白以紅色描繪。其左手執火焰,右手叉腰,無法得知天王之名。
 背面的天王略轉向右側站立,左手握弓向下,右手執箭翎搭於弓上,有蓄勢待發之勢;依其手上的法器,判斷其為東方持國天王。
 二面幡頭均繪坐佛,身著袈裟,但色彩已剝落。二天王面朝不同方向而立,應是考慮到畫幡雙面的透光效果,使正、背面的輪廓線相符。整幅作品設品設色單純,但很好地表現了天王威武懾人之感。
