Yachuji Temple: Bodhisattva in Contemplation

Gilt bronze

思惟菩薩半跏像

日本

據台座圓框刻銘年代「丙寅」,得知為日本白鳳天智天皇五年(666)為祈願中宮天皇之病癒而作,由栢寺之智識信徒所鑄造。此半跏思惟像乃代表當時的彌勒菩薩信仰,為珍貴之遺品。一九二一年指定為日本重要文化財。
 菩薩從身軀至台座為一體鑄成,銅造鎏金,左右的頭飾、冠旁繒帶及腰佩則以銅板打造,外表可見金色的漆繪金箔。頭部碩大,結大寶髻,戴三葉寶冠,繒帶垂掛身前,頭髮垂落雙肩,卵形豐潤的雙頰,圓短的身形,如童子般的模樣。上身略向前彎,右手屈臂,二指輕觸臉頰,掌心朝向正面,右足平擱左腿上,左手置於右腳踝,左腳垂踏蓮花,呈半跏思惟的姿勢。以鏨縫線結之技法雕鑿胸前聯珠紋項圈、臂釧、腕釧等裝飾,下裙二重襞褶似波浪翻轉,律動柔和。背面與舉起的腳足內側可見到微妙的潤飾,與飛鳥時代(538~645)造像對照,展現出更進一步的寫實手法。
