拍品描述

英文品名：A NORTHERN WEI-STYLE GILT-BRONZE SEATED BUDDHA ON A WAISTLED FOUR-LEG STAND 尺寸：L:5cm;W:3cm;H:12cm 銅鎏金。佛陀結跏趺坐，禪定印，著通肩袈裟，衣褶平行下垂。身後襯尖拱火焰紋頭光，輪廓凸起。下承束腰長方形四足臺座，臺座兩側陰刻發願題記，一側可辨「聞其正法」，一側「願願如是」。鎏金多磨落，青鏽隱現，具北魏造像風範。此像下承束腰長方四足座，舊時俗稱「板凳佛」，乃南北朝至隋唐小金銅佛常見形式。其法以陶範或失蠟法鑄成銅胎，再將金箔剪成細片，與汞混合成金汞齊，塗於銅面，入溫爐烘烤使汞蒸發，金即附著於表面，世稱「火鍍金」。臺座兩側陰刻發願文，為古代信徒造像祈福、「聞其正法」「願願如是」之遺意。 A small gilt-bronze Buddha seated in meditation with hands in dhyana mudra, clad in a robe covering both shoulders and falling in parallel folds. A pointed flame mandorla rises behind the figure. The image is supported on a waisted rectangular four-leg stand, a bench base, its sides incised with dedicatory inscriptions, one reading Wen qi zheng fa and the other Yuan yuan ru shi. Gilding is worn and patinated. The waisted four-leg rectangular base has long been called a bench base, typical of small gilt-bronze Buddhas from the Northern and Southern Dynasties through the Sui and Tang. The figure was cast by piece-mould or lost-wax, then fire-gilded: gold foil was amalgamated with mercury, painted on the bronze and heated so the mercury evaporated, leaving a gold film. The incised dedicatory inscriptions on the base record the pious wish of a donor to hear the true law and to realise every vow.
