Wat Wiang: Buddha Protected by Mucalinda (detail)

龍王護佛像

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。佛螺髮細密,肉髻圓大光滑,髻前置蓮瓣形裝飾。鵝卵形臉,秀眉連成雙弧線,垂目,表情靜謐。著袒右袈裟,衣角摺疊成多重條紋披於左肩,垂至肚臍上方,覆左臂的袈裟衣緣呈現優美的波浪褶紋。右手作觸地印,左手置於腹前,半跏趺坐於盤龍承托的蓮座上,體態高貴優雅。盤龍曲卷作三層,身軀鱗甲密布,間有菱形的蓮花紋飾。七龍頭相接成蓮瓣形背光,各自佩戴瓔珞、胸飾蓮花;龍頭凸出,睜眼,鼻孔線刻螺旋紋,形象獨特。
 佛像造型、台座、背光形狀等明顯受到柬埔寨巴戎(Bayon)造像樣式影響,唯柬埔寨的同類造像無手作觸地印相之例,而泰國他叻瓦滴時期(Dvaravati,約6~13世紀)的佛坐像則常見作此手勢,故知該像是融合了不同地區的藝術流派。方形底座上有以古高棉語鐫刻造像銘文,依此推測鑄造於十二世紀末至十三世紀上半葉間。
