Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Attendants

Gilt bronze

王賈氏造觀音菩薩及脇侍像

中國

隋代(581~618)的佛教造像著重菩薩造型改變,身材修長,並強調其背光與方台的形式,是北周(557~581)與南朝(420~589)風格交融下的結果。此造像最為特別的是主尊為觀音菩薩,配二菩薩、二弟子、二力士、二護法獅以及博山形香爐的豐富組合。
 觀音菩薩內著僧祇支,外披袈裟,右手施無畏印,左手結與願印,跣足立於上窄下寬之蓮台,造型基本與一般佛像一致,唯髮髻與垂於身側的帔帛可作為辨識。雙重蓮瓣之頭光間以圓形聯珠紋,蓮瓣形背光雕刻雙線對稱弧形圖案,具柔和富麗之美感。
 四足方台向外開展延伸的荷葉蓮花上立二脇侍菩薩,營造出蓮池海會的勝景。力士逆髮上揚,造型引人注意。方台足下蹲踞二護法獅,仰承中間的博山形香爐,造像細膩,頗具特色。銘刻發願文「開皇十九年(599)二月十五日王賈氏為修子女亡父敬造觀世音像一區」。
