Wat Koh Kaeo Suttharam Ordination Hall: Life of the Buddha - Calming the Drunken Elephant

科蓋蘇瓦特拉姆寺佛傳圖之降伏醉象

泰國

位於科蓋蘇瓦特拉姆寺(Wat Koh Kaeo Suttharam)戒堂北壁。圖上方描繪佛陀降伏醉象的情景。左側佛陀足踏蓮花,蓮瓣形頭光邊緣和雙肩竄出不同顏色的火焰,表徵展現神通。右側醉象俯首屈前足,向佛陀頂禮,象背上一男子頭下腳上,神情狼狽,當為剛被醉象攻擊的受害者。
 圖下方一群路人或受驚跌坐、或議論紛紛,均呈西方人面貌。右側一人形象最為奇特,戴西式帽子,長髮,蓄鬚,卻身著袒右袈裟,手執蒲扇,反映出十七世紀中葉,泰國大城(Ayutthaya)地區曾經出現西方傳教士著佛教僧服,以顯示其神聖身分的潮流,同時體現大城時期(1350~1767)國際貿易發達和宗教融合的社會現象。
