Thayekhittaya: Sri Ksetra Great Silver Reliquary

Gilt silver

銀鎏金舍利具

緬甸勃固省達耶其達亞古城出土

緬甸勃固省(Bago)達耶其達亞古城(Thayekhittaya,今卑謬Pyay)出土,與另一件舍利容器之蓋板浮雕同時出土於當地的佛寺遺址。
 銀質鎏金,殘高58.1公分,直徑40.5公分。器身呈圓柱體,於四方位各錘鍱出一尊具有笈多王朝(約320~550)風格的佛坐像,依蓋緣及底部邊緣驃文字體鐫刻的巴利銘文,得知四尊佛像分別為釋迦佛、迦葉佛、拘那含佛及拘留孫佛等過去佛。
 佛均螺髮平整,雙耳垂肩,雙目鏤空。左手置於腹前,掌心現千輻輪相,右手結觸地印,坐於仰覆蓮座上。圓形頭光有放射狀光芒,靠背左右可見對稱的摩竭魚。佛坐像之間為比丘立像,有阿難、迦葉等,皆偏袒右肩,仰首含笑。頂蓋中央原飾有菩提樹,現僅存樹幹。
 勃固省為古代驃國都城,近年考古學家發掘出橢圓形城牆、王宮、寺院及民居等遺蹟,並出土雕塑、陶器、金銀器及石碑等,其中金屬器皿工藝精美,後世之蒲甘王朝(Bagan,約849~1287)作品亦無法比擬。
