Jinshoji Temple: Flower Tray
Bronze
銅鎏金銀華籠
日本
華籠又稱華盤、華篋、華筥，為盛花之器，法會時散花供養用，為佛教供具。日本滋賀神照寺留存十六面，從其精巧、花紋推測，五面為平安時代（794～1185）、十一面是鎌倉時代（1185～1333）所作，皆為纖細華麗工藝品傑作之一。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
將0.15公分厚圓形銅板錘成器皿狀，直徑介於28.3～28.8公分，重量約375公克。全面為鏤空寶相花卷草紋，通體鎏金，花瓣部分鎏銀，金銀交錯，色澤光亮。其構圖從中央的三枝寶相花卷草以漩渦形向外延展，藤蔓間飾盛開、半開及含苞的寶相花，刻工精細。表面三處設環扣，鑲邊鎏金。
