Monywa: Great Buddha

Cement

蒙育瓦大佛

緬甸

位於緬甸實皆省蒙育瓦(Monywa, Sagaing)。蒙育瓦大佛,譯名為Laykyun Setkyar,意即佛教宇宙四大部洲之尊,故知此像當為釋迦牟尼佛。一九九六年開始建造,二○○八年完成。
 佛臉形豐腴,肉髻高圓,額際戴一寶石飾帶。五官敷彩,斂目垂視,耳長及肩,面容溫雅柔和,呈青年相貌。袈裟覆蓋雙肩,衣角層疊自左肩垂掛而下,上身衣褶作水波紋,下身則呈「八」字形對稱排列。雙手纖長,提起衣緣向外展開,乃緬甸佛像特有的樣式。通身金色晃耀,高聳挺立於仰覆蓮台上,下由多邊形台座承托。造像設有排列整齊的數行小窗,遠望似袈裟條紋的視覺效果。
