Todaiji Temple Shosoin: Incense Burner Stand in the Shape of a Lotus (detail)
木漆彩繪香印坐
日本
日本八世紀佛前供香爐盤。木質金漆彩繪，為奈良東大寺正倉院寶庫中最華麗的供具之一。因底座上有「香印坐」的墨書，故稱名。
香印坐通高17公分，直徑約56公分，四重蓮瓣交互層疊，每重八片，共三十二片組成。每片蓮瓣均裝置於銅板柄端，瓣片外展，末端略微翹起，如盛開蓮花。
蓮瓣表裡邊緣均貼飾金箔。瓣面中間繪有綬鳥、鳳凰、迦陵頻伽、獅子及吉祥花草等，施以青、赤、綠、白、黃、紫等彩色顏料。內部描繪卷草紋、迦陵頻伽、鴛鴦、水鳥等瑞鳥紋飾，並使用青、赤、綠和紫色系組合的暈染漸層技法賦彩。各層的配色變化及圖樣交疊均極盡創意，至今看來仍華麗精緻，堪稱蓮花造型的工藝珍品。
