毗沙門天王像

中國

毗沙門天王即佛教四天王中的北方多聞天王,在藏傳佛教中被尊為戰神和財富神。主尊金色身相,帶紅色頭光,騎綠鬃白獅。身披具有中亞特色的鎧甲,右手執傘,左手握象徵財富的黃色吐寶獸。天王左、右有著漢裝的男、女立像,應是此唐卡的出資供養人。供養人的上方拱形龕有二尊小像,一位是西藏僧人,另一位為皇族形象。
 畫面上方中間為金剛總持,兩側為八大護法神祇;其下中間為金剛手菩薩,左、右各有四脇侍。主尊左右上角有二尊毗沙門天王像的其他身形,其下中段兩側豎排有財神的不同身相。畫面下部中間繪寶瓶,上盛有摩尼寶,伸出卷草紋飾,托住白獅。寶瓶下方為八位合掌的龍王,兩側為八馬主部眾。
 整幅繪大小不等五十個形象,畫面豐富飽滿,繪製精美,是由尼藏風格演變轉化的十四世紀漢藏風格唐卡,融合波羅王朝(Pala,約8~12世紀)藝術的古典風格、尼泊爾藝術的富麗華美,以及漢式衣袍的區域性元素。
