奉獻塔

印度比哈爾邦那爛陀寺遺址出土

印度比哈爾邦(Bihar)那爛陀寺遺址(Nalanda)出土,為信徒供養寺院的造像塔。同類作品一般為石造,此塔以青銅鑄造的例子則較為罕見。
 該塔基座層為方形,以四足承托,四隅豎立柱,每面中央設階梯,兩側供奉菩薩坐像,共計八尊,推測為密教八大菩薩之觀音、彌勒、虛空藏、普賢、金剛手、文殊、除蓋障及地藏。基座上層為八角形,每面開龕,浮雕佛傳八相圖,內容為誕生、佛從忉利天返人間、降魔成道、舍衛城神變、降伏醉象、初轉法輪、涅槃及獼猴獻蜜。
 基座上之覆鉢塔身下緣雕一圈蓮瓣紋飾,狀若蓮座。塔身上承方形平頭和疊澀方板,上置八重相輪,整體造型保留了古代奉獻塔的形式,亦為波羅王朝(Pala,約8~12世紀)奉獻塔的典型範例。
