Todaiji Temple Shosoin: Banner

Gilt bronze

金銅幡

日本

幡為旌旗的總稱。佛教用以顯示佛菩薩降魔之威德,與華蓋、花鬘同為佛前的莊嚴供具,掛於堂內梁柱。舉行法會時,以幡竿懸掛於寺院庭內召告大眾。一般多為染織縫綴或絹製,金銅製品極為罕見。日本東大寺正倉院寶庫中留傳四件,此幡為其中之一,乃奈良天平勝寶八年(756)光明皇后為追悼聖武天皇(724~749在位),獻納奈良東大寺之皇室寶物。
 幡為金銅質,通體鏤雕而成,由幡頭及幡身二部分組成。幡頭雕飾卷草紋,略呈三角形,二斜邊末端垂掛蓮瓣形金飾,頂端繫小提環,方便懸掛。幡身分作四段,由四枚長方形銅板以鉸鏈連接而成。每段鏤雕不同紋樣,由上而下分別為卷草紋、龜背紋、橫豎排列條紋與花草紋樣,以及綴飾珠玉的聯珠紋與對鳥。段之間兩側掛花朵和鈴鐺垂飾,幡身下緣繫五個小鈴作為幡足。紋樣秀麗,造型優雅。
