Wat Wiang: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
Bronze
觀音菩薩像
泰國素叻他尼府猜呀縣維安寺出土
泰國素叻他尼府猜呀縣（Chaiya, Surat Thani）維安寺（Wat Wiang）出土。室利佛逝王朝（Srivijaya，約7～13世紀），泰南地區出現大量的大乘佛教觀音菩薩像，尤其以青銅造像最為優美動人，此像即為其中的代表作之一。
菩薩戴華冠，上端雖已損毀，但仍可見其刻飾繁複精緻。髮際線隨頭形起伏，數綹髮辮披於肩膀。秀眉長彎，眉間白毫凸起。眼半啟，眼神專注，眼睛嵌銀，瞳仁凹陷，或曾鑲嵌寶石。鼻挺嘴小，臉龐圓潤，表情肅穆。頸佩珠串項圈和瓔珞，臂釧精美華麗。左肩斜披聖線，以珠串瓔珞為飾，另披掛刻有羚羊頭的飾帶，故可斷定是觀音菩薩像。頭部微向右側，身軀呈三屈式姿態，刻劃栩栩如生，在金屬光澤的輝映下，更顯雍容華貴。
