Java: Oil Lamp in the Shape of a Kinnari
Bronze
銅緊那羅燈
印尼
印尼中爪哇時期（約7～13世紀）燈具。燈作緊那羅女形，緊那羅又作緊捺洛、歌樂神或音樂天，原為印度神祇，後被佛教納為八部眾之第七，具有美妙的音聲，能歌善舞。
此緊那羅燈具為人首鳥身，兩足並攏而立。頭戴華冠，五官俊美，耳佩璫。頭後方置一長莖蓮花，上有一環，可串長鍊便於懸掛。體型豐滿，腹部渾圓中空，可儲燈油。雙翅上展，羽翼刻劃精緻。胸前設一鳥喙，原置放燈芯。
緊那羅造像常見於印度波羅王朝（Pala，約8～12世紀）那爛陀寺及其他地區的雕塑作品，由傳世的爪哇銅雕塑推測，九至十世紀時亦曾盛行於印尼中爪哇地區。
