龍樹丘遺址佛傳圖及密特那像

印度安得拉邦龍樹丘遺址出土

印度安得拉邦(Andhra Pradesh)龍樹丘遺址(Nagarjunakonda)出土。石板浮雕內刻佛傳圖與密特那(Mithuna)像,圖像上方凸起的橫條刻有紀年銘文,故知是伊修瓦克王朝(Iksvaku,3~4世紀)的富商與妻子及親族共同敬造,為龍樹丘盛期的代表作。
 石板上下框緣均雕飾植物紋,以石框隔出相間的四個正方形和五個長方形畫面,四個正方形畫面中為圓形浮雕,內雕佛傳圖,外緣飾蓮瓣紋。圓形浮雕以蓮瓣飾邊,是沿襲自阿瑪拉瓦提佛塔石柱之圓形浮雕。佛傳由右向左依次為決意出家、踰城出家、降魔成道和成道後的佛陀。五個長方形畫面雕飾密特那,兩兩一組,有的搭肩,有的對視,有的側身向外,神態各異,造型寫實自然,姿態柔美,繼承了薩塔瓦哈納王朝(Satavahana,約200 BCE~250)阿瑪拉瓦提美術的傳統。就整個形式的排列,此石板呈現獨一無二的特殊結構。
