拍品資料及來源

此像造工精緻,展現釋迦牟尼於菩提伽耶悟道成佛之狀。佛像坐於透飾金剛寶座,魔羅魔兵擾阻之際,釋迦召地神為其作證。參考一尊十一世紀帕拉婆羅銅像,造型及紋飾相類,印度新德里國家博物館藏,載於 David Weldon 及 Jane Casey Singer,前述出處,圖28-29。該書作者相信新德里銅像,以及連同此像在內最少六尊造形相同之銅像,或依照現已佚失之摩訶菩提寺石雕而創製。

參考兩尊著名近例,其一出自清宮舊藏,存於北京故宮博物院,載於《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集.藏傳佛教造像》,香港,2008年,圖版66。其二屬 John D. Rockefeller 三世收藏,載於 Denise Patry Leidy,《Treasures of Asian Art. The Asia Society’s Mr. and Mrs. John Rockefeller 3rd Collection》,紐約,1994年,圖66。兩者尺寸相近,造型相同,寶座、坐墊紋飾精緻,款式罕見。佛像通體鎏金,配以紅銅袈裟,用材巧妙對比,可見藏西喀什米爾傳統。然而本品之人物、寶座及坐墊造型,皆隨婆羅傳統而作。另有一例,相近透飾寶座,藏於布達拉宮,載於烏爾裡希.馮.施羅德,《西藏佛教雕塑》,卷1,香港,2001年,編號85A,定為後婆羅風格,斷代十一至十二世紀。另一近例,珠飾鑲座,售於紐約蘇富比1999年3月25日,編號60。
