拉萨西藏博物馆缂丝不动金刚唐卡之断代

Dating the kesi-Thangka of Acala in the Tibet Museum,Lhasa

在学术界,拉萨西藏博物馆所藏的这幅不动金刚唐卡一直是藏传佛教唐卡中早期作品的范例之一,有关其断代众说不一。本文专就此唐卡的断代问题进行了深入的讨论和广泛的比较,认为此唐卡不应是传统所认为的宋或西夏时期的作品,而应是14世纪初以早期旧唐卡为底本的一个元代缂丝仿制品。

Scholars have long disagreed on the dating of an Aksobhya-Vajra Thangka in the Lhasa Museum.The author provides an extensive comparative discussion of the dating of this thangka,arguing that this is neither a Song Dynasty nor a Tangut Xixia period work,as has been often argued,but rather an early 14th century Yuan dynasty kesi silk copy of an earlier work.
