拍品資料及來源

在東南亞地區,流行以金製小型佛像,常見有錘打成薄片再以鏨金製成者,或分鑄合拼成輕體之圓塑者,如此品成尊鑄造者則較罕。印尼爪哇及蘇門答臘一帶島嶼,見有相類為小盦而造之佛像,例如九或十世紀爪哇金鑄毗盧遮那佛坐像例,其下承銅寶座,收錄於 Jan Fontein,《The Sculpture of Indonesia》,華盛頓,1990年,頁234,編號68。此尊佛像原座雖佚,但可推想應與爪哇毗盧遮那金佛像之底座相近,多半採銅,但也有可能以銀製。

此尊滲溢印度帕拉時代(約750-1200)佛教造像風格,顯現當時印度帕拉藝風在東南亞自緬甸至印尼一帶之影響。十一或十二世紀東印度銅佛像例,可見 Ulrich von Schroeder,《Indo-Tibetan Bronzes》,香港,1981年,頁289,圖版72B及72G,佛像胸前袍服幼線、肩上魚尾式褶痕,以及整體扁平比例,與此尊相類,可資比較。
