自在觀音,又稱“觀自在”、“觀世自在”、“光世音”。在佛教諸大菩薩中,觀音菩薩更是以慈悲著稱,他的慈悲心願最偉大、突出,故也是世間崇奉的常見造像題材。自在觀音造型獨特,一改佛教造像直立或盤膝打坐的姿態,其坐姿予觀者無拘無束,自由自在的感覺。此像面相方圓端正,眉目細長,神態安詳。束髮披肩,耳垂圓璫,寬肩束腰,體態勻稱,造型優美,手腳刻劃寫實。上身袒露,胸前飾連珠式瓔珞,下身著長裙。裙褶自然流暢,生動自如,右手自然搭於右膝,左手置於身後,姿態優美,閒情逸致。整器銅質細密瑩潤,鎏金厚重,局部自然脫落,彰顯出雍容華貴的藝術氣息。 “大明永樂年施”款識。 來源:加利福尼亞州科斯塔梅薩私人收藏 Provenance: Private collection, Costa Mesa, California
