Gilt silver

鎏金三股杵紋銀閼伽瓶

陝西省寶雞市扶風縣法門寺塔地宮出土

一九八七年陝西省寶雞市扶風縣法門寺塔地宮出土,發現於地宮後室四隅,共四件。唐代(618~907)供具。閼伽,即淨水瓶,梵語 argha,巴利語 aggha 之音譯,又作阿伽、遏伽、遏迦、遏囉伽,指專供於佛前之功德水、香水,或指盛裝功德水之容器。據法門寺地宮《物帳碑》記載:「為大興善寺智慧輪大師所供奉,共四個。」《阿娑縳抄》云:「護摩壇上以羯磨置四角。」是密宗裡結壇安鎮儀式上不可或缺的供具。
 瓶作盤口,細頸,圓腹,圈足。頸底一周飾有雲紋。腹部鏨飾四個圓形蓮瓣紋,其內鏨十字金剛杵紋,圓形間以兩條平行線相連,腹部下有仰蓮瓣一周,蓮瓣間有三股金剛杵。圈足底緣外翻,緣面一周飾水波紋,於內壁分別墨書標記「東」、「西」、「南」、「北」方位,分別置於地宮後室四隅。
