Wat Sala Thung: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
Sandstone
觀音菩薩像
泰國素叻他尼府猜呀縣沙拉通寺出土
泰國素叻他尼府猜呀縣（Chaiya, Surat Thani）沙拉通寺（Wat Sala Thung）出土。泰國南部的觀音菩薩像，為室利佛逝王朝（Srivijaya，約7～13世紀）大乘佛教曾於當地流布發展的最佳證明。此類造像一般體態豐腴，曲線柔美，頂戴化佛寶冠，帶有印度笈多（約320～550）和波羅王朝（Pala，約8～12世紀）造像風格，該像為代表作之一。
菩薩高髻中央置化佛，長髮及肩。秀眉相連，雙目緊閉，嘴角含笑，面貌清麗脫俗。袒上身，左肩披掛呈帶狀的羚羊皮，上刻羚羊頭，體現修苦行的菩薩形象。雙肩圓渾，身軀比例勻稱，腰臀右傾，呈三屈式立姿，雖手臂已佚，但整體造型簡樸，曲線優美，氣質高貴。
