Bharhut: Paying Respect to a Stupa

Red sandstone

巴爾胡特遺址佛陀入滅起塔圖

印度中央邦阿拉哈巴德瑟德納縣巴爾胡特遺址出土

印度中央邦阿拉哈巴德瑟德納縣(Satna, Allahabad, Madhya Pradesh)巴爾胡特遺址(Bharhut)出土。原為佛塔圓形石垣上的裝飾浮雕。佛塔結構簡單,由塔基、圍欄、覆鉢形塔身及塔頂的圍欄、平頭與傘蓋構成。覆鉢形塔身以鮮花和藤蔓裝飾,平頭兩側各伸出兩朵蓮花。佛塔兩側為合掌禮拜的脇侍立像,其服飾、造型與巴爾胡特佛塔圍欄隅柱的藥叉雕像基本相同。
 巴爾胡特的守門藥叉大多包裹著厚實頭巾,以一條長布巾層層纏在頭部,額頭上方以頭髮或布巾包成圓球狀的髻冠,最後再以麻繩交叉綁縛,呈現前後左右凸出的樣式,此髮型表示藥叉只是塔門守衛階級的身分。藥叉所戴多半似長螺貝的方錐形耳璫,戴耳璫是裝飾身體,而穿耳洞的習俗,早在婆羅門時代就包含在吠陀淨化身心儀式中,沿襲到後來。
 藥叉身著棉布或絲製的貼身腰布,長度到膝蓋,以一條層層摺疊的長布巾束在腰間作為腰帶,腰帶在肚臍下打結,垂下的布條幾乎及地。腰間和手上懸垂一條飄逸的長巾,是巽伽(約187〜75 BCE)和薩塔瓦哈納王朝(Satavahana,約200 BCE~250)上流男士流行的配件。
