Tianshui: Pagoda Sculpture
Stone
權氏造像塔
甘肅省天水市秦安縣出土
一九九九年甘肅省天水市秦安縣出土。南北朝時期（386～589）因《妙法蓮華經》的盛行，經中多寶塔踴出的事蹟，以及〈方便品〉中的造塔功德，促成造像塔的興盛，如雲岡石窟及龍門石窟的表現。唯造像塔是來自印度窣堵波，並非中國的固有建築形制，於是雲岡早期覆鉢形的塔制，漸漸與中國樓閣建築合一，遂形成塔剎是覆鉢、剎柱、相輪，塔身卻為樓閣的中國式造塔。
該塔為方形樓閣式，塔身三層，每層均有塔檐，檐角較平直，檐上雕出瓦壟和屋脊。塔身每層四面開龕，內雕有佛、菩薩、弟子及供養人等。最下層刻發願文「大統二年（536）歲次□□」。現存有紀年的西魏（535～556）造像塔並不多，此造像塔是該類石塔中保存最完整的一件。
