Heavenly Being Making Offering
金銅供養天女像
中國
清代（1644～1911）十八世紀作品，一組八件，銅鑄鎏金。八位供養天女均藍髮，頂戴三葉寶冠。臉形圓潤，面帶微笑。長眉大眼，輪廓均描黑。下頦短窄，有尼泊爾一帶或西藏人面貌特徵。身披飛揚飄繞的帔帛，飾環釧、耳璫，胸掛瓔珞。手指纖長，分持琵琶、圓鏡、哈達、寶塔、鈴杵，或是盛裝寶珠之髗器等各式法器與供物。姿態各異，或屈右腿，或踞左足，但皆作舞立姿。外有蓮瓣形光焰。下方托座以盛開的鍍金蓮花、蓮莖、覆蓮瓣和三層圓形台座組成。
供養天女，在一般的畫作或造像中，多為裝飾性角色，鮮少以單獨造像呈現，此作尺寸雖小，仍具有其獨特性。
