Stupa

Steatite

索阿後塔

中國

此塔呈圓柱形,高16.9公分,底徑8.4公分。共分三層,逐層往上收分,自下而上依序為八面形塔基、圓柱形塔身、覆鉢,塔頂已損毀。
 八面形塔基高5.8公分,每面四周有寬邊框,邊框上方各刻一八卦圖像,框內分刻四男四女,以減地平鈒手法呈現;八像均有頭光,披帔帛,右手持三瓣蓮花。圓柱形塔身高4.8公分,刻有發願文及經文,共三十七行,魏體中帶隸意。經文內容自「照有此色」至「不捨精進之行」,後接發願文「涼皇大沮渠緣禾/四年(435)歲在亥三月廿/九日休息曇智/法定信士索阿後/羌兒□(孟)彌又惠仲□/並妻息僮僕共立/此塔各為父母師長/君王國主及一切眾生/願共成最正覺」,由於北涼並無緣禾之年號,據推測可能是北魏延和年號之諧音,然延和三年後即改元,延和四年應是太延元年(435)。
 覆鉢高約6.3公分,闢八個圓拱形龕,龕內均有高浮雕像,其中七尊為佛結跏趺坐像,雙手結禪定印,袈裟衣紋陰刻。另一尊則為菩薩,頭戴寶冠,交腳坐於台座上。
