这是一铺1-2世纪古印度贵霜时期的犍陀罗造像，也是迄今存世较早的阿弥陀如来造像，距今约有一千九百年的历史。其特色是佛像面容呈椭圆形﹐眉目端庄﹐五官俊朗，面露微笑，神态慈悲安详。头发呈波浪形并有顶髻﹐身披希腊式长衫﹐衣褶多由左肩下垂﹐袒露右肩﹐双手当胸似结智拳印，双足全跏趺坐安住于莲花法座之上。

二菩萨侍立左右，阿弥陀如来左侧的菩萨，头戴宝冠，顶有化佛，是十分难得一见的早期观世音菩萨形象。

根据考古界的报告，目前已确认的最古老的阿弥陀佛象是北印度Mathura发现的站立佛象，时间可以追溯到公元153年。

Schopen has noted a single statue of Amitābha, broken off at the ankle, but labelled as such on the pedestal, dating from ca. 153 CE.  ---- 《Early Mahāyāna: Everything You Know is Wrong, 03 July 2015》

In the case of the fragment with the Amitabha inscription, we can at least have one example that matches the lotus motif with Amitabha by ca. 153 A.D. in Mathura. Through regrettably only a fragment, the inscriptional evidence is particulalarly important. It dates the dedicatio of an actual image of a standing Amitabha Buddha to 153 A.D., thus clearly indicating the presence of some degree of worship of Amitabha Buddha by that time in Mathura. This in turn clearly suggests the presence of texts that speak of Amitabha. Because of its date, this fragment stands at present as the earliest known image of Amitabha.----Marylin M.
