Sutra Cabinet
Wood with lacquer and gold
木漆描金佛教宇宙圖經櫃
泰國
泰國大城時期（Ayutthaya，1350～1767）作品，用於收藏佛教經書之櫥櫃。
立櫃，四面平式，對開二門，櫃門附人面鳥身形拉手，上設鎖頭。黑漆作地，門上描金繪佛教宇宙圖，中為須彌山，直上無曲折，頂為帝釋天所居之忉利天宮。忉利天宮兩側殿閣為四天王住所，內有合掌天人及其眷屬。須彌山左右長柱高聳，漸次降低，排列對稱，代表八山、八海環繞。畫中櫃身邊框浮雕似卷草紋。
右櫃門下方繪大樹及繁茂的花果，左櫃門有奇鳥、象、馬等瑞獸，形象逼真，象徵佛教南贍部洲的情境。整體繪製精麗，為大城時期描金漆器的珍品。
