Sandstone
天人獻草圖
泰國加拉信府法丹宋樣古城出土
泰國加拉信府（Kalasin）法丹宋樣古城（Mueang Fa Daed Song Yang）出土。此佛傳故事浮雕刻於結界石上，事見《佛本行集經》卷二十六〈向菩提樹品〉，刻劃悉達多太子在證悟得道之前，帝釋天化身吉祥童子，割取吉祥草獻給太子作鋪座之用。
圖中太子現佛相，螺髮肉髻，耳垂及肩，五官端嚴。頭光素淨無飾，邊緣刻蓮瓣形焰光。袈裟質薄貼體，腰際布褶鼓起。右手結印，左手似提握袈裟衣角，雙足向外開展而立，整體形象顯得高大。
太子右方為吉祥童子，束髮髻，仰首站立，左手執吉祥草，其形長彎，狀甚柔軟。童子上方雕菩提樹，表現太子接受吉祥草後鋪於樹下，安坐其上，求取正覺。
