Wood with mother-of-pearl

木漆螺鈿經箱

江蘇省蘇州市瑞光寺塔發現

一九七八年江蘇省蘇州市瑞光寺塔第三層天宮發現,發現時箱內存有碧紙金書《妙法蓮華經》七卷。
 經箱長34.8公分,寬13.7公分,高12.7公分。長方體,木胎,通身髹黑漆地施螺鈿。分蓋、身和台座三部分。蓋呈盝頂形,蓋面以鈿片貼畫三組並列的團花紋,中央的團花原貼有一顆半球形水晶。盝頂四坡及立面各作花葉紋、菱形環帶,間飾飛鳥和蝴蝶。
 箱身四面鑲嵌纏枝石榴花卉及葉片圖案,花團錦簇。台座為須彌座,周設十六個壼門,內貼飾堆漆描金瑞草。蓋、身和台座四周邊緣,分別以花苞形、四瓣花形、心形等不同形狀的細小鈿片貼畫成帶狀紋飾。
 經箱使用鈿片達七百多片。鈿片即貝殼,又稱螺鈿,每片厚度僅約0.1公分,表面並淺雕細緻紋路。以天然彩色螺鈿組成的各式圖案,襯托出經箱的富麗華貴,展現晚唐時期(846~907)螺鈿技藝的精巧。
