象牙寫經經板

緬甸

緬甸十七世紀末至十八世紀初寫經抄本。是佛教三藏律部羯磨本(Kammavaca),為比丘、比丘尼受具足戒之用。書寫於十四塊象牙板上,推測源自阿瑪拉普拉(Amarapura)或曼德勒(Mandalay)。
 寫經內容是從律藏所節錄出的九段僧團生活規範。文字以四行書寫,兩端可見深紅色地金色的蓮花圖樣,中心有四瓣花朵紋飾,形似曼荼羅的幾何圖案。緬甸蒲甘王朝(Bagan,約849~1287)時,僅以簡單的形式,將佛典書寫在棕櫚葉上,自十七世紀起,開始出現漆上薄樹脂的花卉紋,此類紋飾常見於皇家衣袍及尊貴的比丘袈裟。
 此部清晰的緬甸儀式寫經,如同在金色與硃砂紅色背景上,畫出形似純黑色羅望子樹的種子。
