Potala Palace: Embroidery of Usnisa Sitatapatra
Silk
貼綾繡大白傘蓋佛母像
中國
大白傘蓋佛母，為釋迦牟尼佛之眷屬。白傘蓋者，取佛之淨德覆蓋一切之義，佛母以白淨慈悲之傘蓋護覆眾生為本誓，具多種法相。此像作一面二臂，千手千眼的形象亦多有之。
佛母綰髮高髻，頂飾寶珠，戴寶冠。面貌豐圓，三目，長耳垂金環。後有雙重頭光及身光，外緣飾茶花紋。身披帔帛，帛帶飄舞，起伏柔美流暢，下著長裙，色彩繽紛。左手於胸前持傘，右臂舒展覆掌，結跏趺坐於寶池中升起的仰覆蓮座上。蓮座以深淺紅色，搭配藍白波紋中盛開的朵朵蓮花，下方有寶珠、珊瑚、金錠、銀錠、犀角等；左右兩側岩石間，鹿、鶴穿梭，顯得生趣盎然。
佛母上方兩側懸浮日月祥雲。整幅作品以貼綾刺繡製成，色彩鮮麗，工整細緻。
