光孝寺雙塔

廣東廣州

位於廣東省廣州市光孝寺大雄寶殿前東西兩隅。西塔建於五代十國南漢大寶六年(963),是現存有確切年代可考的最早一座鐵塔,為南漢後主劉鋹的太監龔澄樞與鄧氏三十三娘具名鑄造。東塔建於大寶十年,以劉鋹名義鑄造。雙塔初建時全身貼金,塔身遍鑄上千佛像,又稱塗金千佛塔,現金已剝落,呈現鐵鏽色。
 雙塔形制相似,皆為鐵造樓閣式,平面四方形。西塔原為七層,清(1644~1911)末房屋倒塌,毀了四層,現僅存三層,殘高3.1公尺。塔下設台基,其上二層須彌座。第一層須彌座下梟以下為岩石雕刻,四角有竹節柱,束腰東、西面飾重疊菱形花紋;第二層須彌座鐵鑄,四角置立人頂柱,束腰每面均飾雙龍。塔身每層各面皆鑄小佛像,正中鑄一大龕,內供奉坐佛。
 東塔七層,高7.69公尺。塔下基座二層,第一層為花崗岩石雕製;第二層束腰及其以上部分為鐵鑄,束腰各面鑄龍戲火珠等圖案及銘文,造型生動。塔身每層各面鑄飾小佛像,正中鑄一大龕,內供奉坐佛;全塔大佛像二十八尊,小佛像九百九十六尊。最上有鐵鑄塔剎。
