描述

  • 《皇建元年十二月十七日》款
the granulated grey sandstone with a slight pinkish buff patina, carved with a Buddha seated in dhyanasana on a square base, his left hand in varadamudra and the now missing right hand possibly raised in abhayamudra, dressed in a long monastic robe draped over his left shoulder leaving the torso bare and falling in tightly curling folds over the legs and base, the rounded face with a meditative expression portrayed with slightly opening hooded eyes and beatific smile set between long earlobes, framed by a parted hairline below the domed ushnisha, all surrounded by a large mandorla incised with rhythmic flaming scrolls and radiating petals around the divinity's head, and further supported on a large block plinth with a stepped base inscribed on the front with a dedication by Ren Yuanjian [?], dated to the 17th day of the twelve month in the first year of the Huangjian period (corresponding to AD 560, Northern Qi dynasty)

皇建元年十二月十七日佛弟子任(元建)為父母造像一區,願□從心。

此件佛坐像,通體作以線刻,佛身潤圓立體,座前衣紋華美流暢。此類紋飾多作於早期,如北魏朝石雕。作例可參考一件三尊碑,中心為佛坐像,紀年延昌二年(513),刊錄於松原三郎,《中国仏敎彫刻史研究》,東京,1966年,圖版66b,衣紋相近。

參考一件近類碑作,先後售於倫敦蘇富比1978年12月12日,編號265,及倫敦佳士得1979年12月10日,編號15;一尊佛坐像,面相類同,背光紋飾較為簡單,錄於松原三郎,《中国仏敎彫刻史論》,東京,1995年,圖版編二,圖版443c,並錄另一尊同型佛坐像,紀年天保二年(551),圖版469b。
