作品介绍

摩尼教壁画残片编号“MIK Ⅲ 6918”（英语：Fragment of a Turpan Manichaean Wall Painting “MIK Ⅲ 6918”）是一幅收藏于德国柏林亚洲艺术博物馆的摩尼教壁画残片，绘制于公元10世纪左右，在20世纪初被德国吐鲁番考察队发现于新疆高昌故城K遗址。残片长88厘米、宽168.5厘米，描绘的是摩尼教教会里的礼拜仪式场面。

简述

这幅壁画描绘了古代高昌回鹘摩尼教团体的崇拜仪式，最左边的肖像是整幅画里尺寸最大的，应是当地教会的主教，即“东方主教”（Mozhak [Bishop] of the East），过去一直错误地将该像判断为摩尼教创始人摩尼的画像。他佩戴一顶装饰华丽的高冠，最特别的是他脑后的头光呈现出新月形状，整体看来有如新月日轮图案。他身后排列着众多摩尼教选民和平信徒，有男有女，他们均穿白色长袍，头戴白色高冠，这些都是典型的摩尼教服饰。

Fragment of Manichaean Wall Painting "MIK Ⅲ 6918" is a fragment of a Manichaean mural collected in Germany Berlin Asian Art Museum, painted around the 10th century AD, and was found by the German Turpan expedition team in the ruins of Gaochang, in Xinjiang. The fragment is 88 centimeters long and 168.5 centimeters wide. It depicts a scene of worship in a Manichae church.

Brief description

This mural depicts the worship rituals of the ancient Gaochang Uyghur Manichae community. The leftmost portrait is the largest in the entire painting. It should be the bishop of the local church, that is, the "Oriental Bishop" (Mozhak [Bishop] of the East), the image has been wrongly judged as the portrait of the founder of Manichaeism Mani in the past. He wears a gorgeously decorated high crown, the most special thing is that the headlight behind his head shows a crescent shape, which looks like a crescent moon and sun wheel pattern as a whole. Behind him are many Manichaean elect and lay believers, both men, and women. They all wear white robes and white crowns. These are typical Manichean costumes.
