Buddha Protected by Mucalinda (detail)

龍王護佛像

泰國

此像為泰國他叻瓦滴時期(Dvaravati,約6~13世紀)作品。原為泰國東北部一座寺院的結界石上浮雕,表現龍王護佛。
 佛螺髮粗厚,頭光上緣刻五龍頭,再上飾菩提樹冠。臉圓,大眼垂視,鼻短,厚唇微凸,貌似孩童。右手上舉作論辯印,左手輕擱左腿。趺坐,雙腳於腳踝處交疊,腳掌既短且寬,指頭圓大,足底朝外,充滿童趣。著袒右袈裟,衣緣摺疊,從左肩垂至胸前。
 佛座為盤曲成四圈的龍身。座前兩側刻二人物,皆側身背向主尊,蹲坐地上,服飾刻劃簡單,基調與主尊一致;右側人物仰首合掌,作祈願狀,左側人物右手置於腰腹間,左手支腿。
 此像之薄衣袈裟和坐姿的表現手法帶有印度笈多王朝(約320~550)的造像風格,在形象的雕刻上卻採用了本土元素,作品整體反映出他叻瓦滴時期造像的創意變化。
