Nanpaya Pagoda: Brahma

Stone

南帕耶塔梵天像

緬甸

位於緬甸曼德勒省蒲甘敏卡巴村(Myinkaba, Bagan, Mandalay)南帕耶塔(Nanpaya Temple)。塔內中央台座上置一尊坐佛,台座四隅各有一根方形石柱,每面寬約1公尺,現四柱均各存二身梵天浮雕,共計八身,此像刻於東南柱之北面,面向中央的主尊。梵天原為印度教神祇,佛教視其為護法神,在各式圖像中常與帝釋天同為釋迦牟尼佛的脇侍。密教中多作四面四臂,右手持蓮花、數珠,左手結印,乘七鵝車,戴髮髻冠。
 此像坐於圓拱龕內,僅表現三面二臂,戴塔形高寶冠,髮絲縷縷分明。袒上身,斜披帔帛,腰際繫結。雙手屈舉托盛開的蓮花,呈遊戲坐姿坐於蓮花座上。龕外緣刻有聯珠紋和二重火焰紋,上方刻劃精緻的天福之面(Kirtimukha)和花繩裝飾。整體造像不論是容顏或身軀都顯得豐腴,帶有濃厚泰國孟族風格,堪稱蒲甘王朝(約849〜1287)美術的佳作。
