Beopjusa Temple Stone Basin
法住寺石蓮池
南韓忠清北道報恩
位於韓國忠清北道報恩郡內俗離面舍乃里俗離山麓法住寺，是該國唯一的石蓮池。雕造於八世紀統一新羅時期（668～935）。其外形近於半圓形，象徵蓮花；蓮池內種植蓮花，是供養佛菩薩之供養具。一九六二年指定為韓國國寶第64號。
該蓮池為花崗石砌，高1.95公尺，圓周6.65公尺。底座平面呈八角形，其上有三層台石，底座每面刻壼門和隅柱，台石刻覆蓮圖案。台石之上以雕刻雲紋的竿石承托蓮池；蓮池表面浮雕重瓣仰蓮，蓮瓣內飾寶相花紋，蓮瓣口緣有欄杆環繞，欄杆外壁面陽刻天人像、寶相花，象徵蓮花化生的極樂淨土，刻工細膩。蓮池因選用半開敷蓮花外形，頗見工匠之巧思。
