Mathura: Life of the Buddha - Bathing of Prince Siddhartha
Sandstone
龍王灌頂圖
印度北方邦秣菟羅坎卡利蒂拉出土
印度北方邦秣菟羅坎卡利蒂拉（Kankali Tila, Mathura, Uttar Pradesh）出土。為貴霜王朝（約1～3世紀）的石板浮雕，表現佛傳故事中悉達多太子降誕，二龍王於虛空中吐一溫一涼清淨水，灌沐太子身的情景。
圖中央為太子袒身直立於台座上，左手張肘當腰，右手屈舉；其右手和頭部已損毀。太子左右兩側龍王雙手合掌，虔誠禮佛。上方虛空中雕有笛、螺貝、琴、鼓等樂器，表示諸天於空中奏樂讚頌。石板背面雕刻男女供養像，頭部和雙足均已損毀。
整體造像構圖簡明扼要，太子兩側以龍王取代一般常見的梵天與帝釋天，從圖左龍王的面貌特徵和敷巾冠飾，可知作品滲入了犍陀羅美術的元素。
