| Abstract | The story of the Śibi-Jātaka is one of the well-known tales of the Jātakas. It is depicted in
many works of visual art from Gandhāra, the Karakorum Highway, Mathurā, Amarāvatī,
Nāgārjunakoṇḍa, Kizil, Dunhuang and other areas. This paper aims to explain the reasons for
the dissemination of Śibi-Jātaka imagery north-eastwards from Gandhāra to Kizil and
Dunhuang. First, figurative designs of the Śibi-Jātaka found in India, Gandhāra, the
Karakorum Highway, Kizil, and Dunhuang are surveyed and it is clarified that the imagery of
a falcon chasing a pigeon is confined to Gandhāra, Kizil and Dunhuang. Second, it is
demonstrated that this fact corresponds with the contents of the stories described in six
Chinese translations of northern Buddhist texts. Third, it is obviously shown that falconry was
practiced in West Asia, Central Asia, and China. To conclude, the north-eastward
dissemination of Śibi-Jātaka imagery of a falcon chasing a pigeon from Gandhāra to Kizil and
Dunhuang was done by Central Asian people who were familiar with falconry. |
