清康熙 銅鎏金送子菩薩坐像 Qing Dynasty period. Seated on double lotus throne, the bodhisattva is shown wearing beaded necklaces, with a boy seated on his left lap holding both hands as in worship. The face of bodhisattva is shown in gentle smile, wearing a crown and hair tied into a tall top knot. 《妙法蓮華經·觀世音普門品》雲:「若有女人,設欲求男,禮拜供養觀世音菩薩,便生福德智慧之男;設欲求女,便生端正有相之女。」送子觀音題材的造像在北宋時期已有之,到明清時期大量出現。在中原地區,送子觀音被認為具有助生育的法力,倍受人們崇信,如此造型接近民間多子多嗣的願望,為人們喜聞樂見。此尊觀音面頰豐腴,白毫圓凸,頭戴髮箍,正中有阿彌陀佛,髮辮垂至兩肩,頭微偏轉,目光下斂,低眉若有所思,神情嫻淑,姿態端莊,微含笑意,相容慈和。身穿通肩天衣,胸前珮飾三層式瓔珞,左肩披一仁獸及綻開肩花,衣紋刻畫寫實自然。觀音呈大自在相,坐於雙層式蓮花座上,蓮座樣式為典型康熙宮廷風格,觀音左腿盤曲,左腿下垂並踩踏蓮花,左手撐於蓮座上方,右手輕撫膝部。憨態可掬的童子則坐於觀音的左膝上,雙手合十,面容靜謐,生動傳神。整像尺寸碩大,通體鎏金,造型端莊,比例勻稱,體態優美。歷經常年供奉,銅色沈穆,包漿古潤。在宋至清代中原造像中,送子觀音為一位世俗化的慈祥的婦人造型,而此尊送子觀音來自於康熙宮廷造像,觀音融化了漢藏風格,為藏傳佛教中介於男女之間的善男子形象,與常見的送子觀音有很大區別,但比善男子形象同樣的慈眉善目,盡可能的追求一種疼愛幼童的慈祥形象。目前存世的造像中,此造型共不多見,極具收藏價值。明代中原送子觀音銅像偶有所見,但清康熙的送子觀音像兼有如此尺寸大者則極為罕見。
