拍品資料及來源
此文殊菩薩像，與一清宮舊藏例相近（圖一），後者尺寸略大，現存北京故宮博物院，錄於《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集．藏傳佛教造像》，香港，2008年，頁220，圖版209。北京文殊菩薩像相貌莊嚴，目光慈悲，同結跏趺坐說法印，頭戴矮五葉冠，兩側帶飾上捲，下裳貼體，衣沿有綴珠寬邊，鑄造嵌石風格，種種皆與此同。該像底座帶大德九年（1305）銘，為元朝造像斷年提供了不可或缺的證據。元初藝匠阿尼哥（1244-1306）入宮，引入紐瓦爾風，自此蒙元皇室或好此風尚，是以本尊文殊像溫婉雍雅，蘊十四世紀尼泊爾造像特徵。另比對一元朝文殊菩薩像，其袍服、寶飾及蓮座皆與此相近，見於 Robert R. Bigler，《Before Yongle》，蘇黎世，2015年，頁109，編號25。
