金銅鳳凰

日本

日本十一世紀作品。此對金銅鳳凰原置於京都宇治平等院鳳凰堂中堂正脊兩端,現藏於該院鳳翔館。今中堂屋脊兩端之鳳凰為其複製品。一九七三年指定為日本國寶。
 鳳凰為銅質鎏金,像高分別為95、98.8公分。頭部、體軀及羽翼分別鑄造,再與銅板製的尾部翎毛以鉚釘組裝完成。鳥身與圓形台座之間貫穿鐵桿以穩固。
 鳳凰頂肉冠,睜目,眼神銳利,凝視前方。喙粗短呈鉤形,頸項略屈,胸肌鼓凸,展翅而立。頸項至雙股間鑄出鱗形羽毛,頸部上端繫繩帶,其背面飾火焰寶珠,下有蓮座。此作雖部分已佚,或後來修補,仍不失其原樣,為平安時代(794~1185)金工品之代表。
 鳳為雄鳥,凰為雌鳥,常見於佛教美術,如繪畫、雕刻或刺繡等作品,均以其圖樣表示祥瑞。
