Illustrations of Jataka Tales
Color on cloth
佛本生圖
泰國
此泰國布畫採用裝飾條紋界分為二欄五列，共十格畫面，表現十大本生故事。左欄由上而下繪須大拏太子、康達哈羅司祭官、槃達龍王、睒子和摩訶伽那迦，右欄則為比豆梨賢者、摩訶那羅陀迦葉、大隧道、尼彌王和啞躄等。該國佛教繪畫除壁畫和插畫外，懸掛於殿堂內之布畫亦是重要的佛教繪畫形式之一。
此作品中每幅圖所呈現的內容，均為該本生故事中具代表性之情節，如須大拏太子一家四口流放途中傾囊布施，連坐騎亦捨，最後唯有徒步上路；比豆梨賢者手扶藥叉不那奇的馬尾，雖性命垂危仍處之泰然。整體構圖豐富、筆觸細膩、設色清麗，畫中主要人物衣飾貼金，反映出當地繪畫特色。
