Mogao Cave 17: Bodhisattva Making an Offering (detail)
菩薩立像
甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土
甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土。繪製於九世紀下半葉。菩薩右手托透明琉璃鉢，足踏紅色蓮台，唇上有蝌蚪形的小髭。眼睛四周及脖頸處以色彩暈染，線描準確而精細，鼻線和臉部輪廓線都不是一筆畫成，而是用短筆連接。
線描純熟有力，細緻刻劃華貴的衣物和複雜的裝飾。白色的冠帶長垂至膝，腰間白色衣帶自然垂落到蓮台上；帔帛深淺有致的染色，展現輕薄質地的透明感。另外，透明琉璃鉢的描繪，無不彰顯繪者高超的技藝。
畫中貴重的大琉璃鉢出現在敦煌佛畫中，顯示出當時絲綢之路往來交易的盛況。
