Potala Palace: Embroidery of White Tara

Silk

貼花繡白度母像

中國

度母,即多羅菩薩,亦稱救度母,為觀世音菩薩所化之身,共有二十一化身,白度母為其中之一,身色潔白,象徵「息」,意為和諧。藏傳佛教盛行修持二十一度母信仰,尤以《救度佛母二十一種禮讚經》廣為流傳。
 圖中白度母位居中央,一面三目,掌心、足心各有一目,共七目,亦稱七眼度母。綰髮高髻,頭戴花鬘寶冠,面龐圓潤,耳戴大耳璫,神情和藹恬靜。帶紅色圓形火焰紋頭光及舉身光。舉身光外圍飾烏巴拉花。披帔帛,飾項圈、臂釧及手鐲,姿態優美。右手置於膝前施與願印,左手當胸拈長莖烏巴拉花,結跏趺坐於盛開的蓮座之上。度母上方繡三尊坐像,日月為頂;下方繡二護法尊像。
 此作運用各色綾子及織金緞,以貼花繡技法製成,色彩絢麗,富麗華貴。
