Embroidery of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
Silk
刺繡觀音菩薩像 金淑芳
中國
畫面中央繡觀音菩薩，倚山石席地自在而坐。髮髻飾化佛花鬘寶冠，烏髮分成數綹散落雙肩。右手支頤，面目慈和，垂視前方的出水蛟龍。左臂置於膝上，手持一串數珠。褒衣博帶，頸、腕處飾項圈、環釧。
觀音身側為韋馱天將，身披鎧甲，以網針襯以片金表現，色澤光鮮富於質感。韋馱手持金剛杵，威風凜凜，侍立於山石之後，目視著思惟中的菩薩。繡品右上方墨書繡觀音題詩，署「華嚴弟子盛可繼敬書」，並朱繡「可繼」、「世芳」二印。左下角有「萬曆乙未（1595）孟春金氏淑芳恭刺」繡款。
作品使用針法複雜，主要運用齊針、套針、接針、滾針及刻鱗等十幾種針法，用線講究，採精細劈成的細絨絲線，構圖層次分明，十分精美。
