拍品資料及來源

此尊金剛薩埵,採早期形像,尺寸碩大,鎏金厚重,細節自然,結合帕拉式風格元素及西藏雕塑傳統,極為罕見,誠為珍品。菩薩坐姿莊嚴,頂冠華美,上飾阿閦佛像,手持金剛橛與金剛鈴。華麗頂冠及珠寶華帶,更顯面相雍容。

風格、造型及尺寸與此接近者有二,其一為大英博物館藏金剛薩埵像,其二乃克里夫蘭美術館藏彌勒菩薩像,圖均載於 Pratapaditya Pal,《The Arts of Nepal》,萊頓,1974年,圖版213及214,作者於頁214-215指,兩尊銅像造工圓潤流暢,極盡優雅。如此描述,亦適用於此尊。三尊銅像,同樣姿態雄渾,曲線流麗,瓔珞衣飾風格相近,華帶花紋更是細膩精巧。

還可參考一尺寸較大之金剛薩埵像,為 Speelman 典藏,定為十一至十二世紀西藏中或西部之作,圖載於 Marylin M. Rhie 及 Robert A.F. Thurman,《Wisdom and Compassion: The Sacred Art of Tibet》,倫敦,1996年,頁464,圖版219。
