Color on palm leaf

八千頌般若經插圖

印度

此貝葉經為印度波羅王朝(Pala,約8~12世紀)遺珍,可能源自比哈爾邦(Bihar)或孟加拉地區。葉片中央、燙孔處和兩端飾彩繪,圖像均與經文無關。
 此四頁貝葉每片高7.6公分,長43.8公分,由上而下,第一頁中央為六臂文殊菩薩坐像,各手或持物或結印,其中一手高舉智慧之劍於腦後,突顯此尊形象特徵。菩薩寶座和大型連弧形靠背上的紋飾華麗繁密,靠背上方兩角綴飾花草,畫面空間運用極致。第二頁般若菩薩藍色身相,雙手結印,趺坐蓮座。第三頁多羅菩薩通體嫣紅,腰身微傾,跏趺而坐。第四頁護法神藍色身相,逆髮金黃,雙目赤紅,四臂或結印或持物,雙腳展立,踏一生靈,背後大型背光烈焰熊熊。
 四頁燙孔處各飾紅底黃邊方框,內繪菱形紋或瑞獸。兩端對稱畫佛塔或飾帶。作品人物五官簡略,姿勢形式化,背景則描繪精麗細緻,明顯為波羅王朝晚期典型畫風。
