崇福寺塔基裝藏品
日本滋賀崇福寺遺址出土
一九三八年日本滋賀崇福寺遺址出土。遺址之塔基礎石內挖掘出四重舍利容器，由金銅外箱、銀質中箱、金質內箱及金蓋琉璃壺依序層層相套，其中以琉璃壺為主件。多層套匣之構思推測係源於釋尊納棺之印度古制。舍利容器周圍有銀錢、銅鈴、金銅背銀緣鐵鏡、香木片、琉璃玉、圓珠及水晶寶石等莊嚴具。舍利容器與莊嚴具皆為日本八世紀貴重實例，可看出當時工藝技術的精華。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
琉璃壺附金質壺蓋，身作球形，圓底，呈鮮麗濃綠色，納藏三粒佛舍利。金質內箱與銀質中箱，均作盝頂方體。蓋與身上下相合，蓋面和四壁微鼓，平底，表面光素無紋，正面設鎖鼻。金銅外箱下連底座，座四面均開壼門，器身直壁，表面有綠青色鏽。
