專家說明
This attractive image of a Bodhisattva bust is remarkable for its serene countenance with its contemplative and deeply spiritual expression. The bejeweled turban is part of the rich suite of aristocratic accoutrements known as bodhisattvabharana which indicated the deity's divine identity and also acted as symbols representing the material and spiritual wealth to be gained by lay worshippers. As suggested by Francine Tissot, Gandhara, Paris 1985, pp. 212-215, the turban is based on an original which combined a metal cap, repousse decorated and textile.
