Daianji Temple: Reliquary

Gilt bronze

金銅舍利塔

日本

日本十三世紀之作。為別致的燈籠式造型,內供舍利寶瓶,安放自印度傳來之佛舍利。據底座墨書記載,得知原供奉於奈良大安寺舍利殿,現藏於奈良西大寺。一九五三年指定為日本國寶。
 塔為銅鑄鎏金,由塔基、塔身、塔檐及塔剎組成。塔基為二層六弧形座,上層立面長方形框內雕飾花紋圖案,下層飾菱形紋。塔身上各柱間鏤雕菊、蓮、龍、牡丹、龍膽、花菱(金英花)等,襯以卷雲紋;底部設壼門,內以高浮雕表現奔馳的獅子。
 塔檐以凸紋為地,作雙重圈條,運用鋤雕技法鑿刻,上為雲龍紋,下為蓮花卷草紋,邊飾六瓣花形,檐角飛揚,垂掛寶鐸和瓔珞。塔剎以仰覆蓮座承托金銅水晶寶珠,寶珠四面飾火焰紋。
 日本金工技術的發展與佛教文化關係密切,特別是鎌倉時代(1185~1333)的金工,更增添精緻與厚重的美感,由於舍利信仰的復興,集合鍛、鑄、透雕、線刻和鎏金等精細技術於一體的許多舍利容器因應而生。此舍利塔兼用淺浮雕、透雕、鋤雕和高浮雕等技法,為此時期之精品。
