Embroidered Robe (detail)

刺繡袈裟

中國

明代(1368~1644)初年刺繡作品。二十五條衣為袈裟的一種,以二十五條布橫綴而成,每一條布上又豎綴長布四、短布一,稱為四長一短。推測此件袈裟應為皇室贈與西藏喇嘛的法袍。
 長方形,大羅紅絲地,以各色絲線和金線繡製而成。四周設緣,緣內重複排列五方佛,呈坐姿,代表五行、五色、五智及五方位。袈裟中央上方為佛、法、僧三寶圖紋,係表三寶乃輪迴受苦眾生的真實皈依處。中央下方為法輪,安置於方形基座上,比喻佛法如輪,破除眾生諸罪惡。
 緣內四隅設四揲,即為四天王,右上角北方多聞、右下角東方持國、左下角南方增長和左上角西方廣目等四天王,皆呈站姿,手中各持一物,帶五彩雲紋背光,雄偉威武。橫堤與豎條為小尊坐佛、蓮紋及「卍」字紋,縱橫二向排列。
