唐 鎏金銅菩薩立像
The present figure features a bodhisattva in elongated form standing upon a lotus pedestal. The design of the pedestal is simple and classic; though the lotus petals show slight wear from time, they retain their graceful charm, supporting the elegantly poised figure. The body is decorated with delicate beaded jewellery and the head wears a jewelled crown, possibly featuring decorative details. Despite its small size, the statue exudes solemnity and mystery.
The overall posture is dignified, with flowing drapery suggesting a gentle breeze. It embodies the pursuit of graceful vitality and exquisite craftsmanship in the Tang Dynasty. Having weathered the passage of time, it still quietly narrates the prosperity of Buddhist art and the ingenuity of its artisans in the past. Every patina-streaked gilded patch, every undulating ornamental line, serves as an annotation where history and art intertwine. They bear witness to the religious devotion, technical mastery, and aesthetic splendour of that era.
此尊小巧精緻的鎏金銅造像，其主體呈修長形態，立於蓮花座之上，蓮花座造型古樸，蓮瓣線條雖因歲月略有磨損卻仍含韻致，托起身姿優雅的像身。像身鎏金雖有氧化變色，卻難掩昔日華光，周身瓔珞繁複精巧，環環相扣、絲絲纏繞，似綴滿祥瑞；頭戴寶冠，冠上或有裝飾細節，雖因尺寸小巧，卻盡顯莊嚴神秘。整體姿態端然，衣紋流轉似有微風拂過，將唐代造像追求的舒展氣韻與工藝精湛之美凝於一身，歷經時光洗禮，仍靜靜訴說著往昔佛教藝術的昌盛與匠人的巧思匠心，每一處鎏金的斑駁、每一道紋飾的起伏，都是歷史與藝術交織的生動注腳，承載著那個時代的宗教信仰、工藝水準與審美風華，宛如一顆穿越千年的藝術明珠，在歲月中散發著沉靜而厚重的魅力。
