Changde Iron Pillar

常德鐵幢

湖南常德

位於湖南省常德市濱湖公園。原位於德山山麓乾明寺側,因寺毀,一九七九年遷移至此。始建年代不詳,依據造型、紋飾及銘文中的官職,以及近年的採樣光譜測試推斷,當是北宋(960~1127)遺物。一九八二年列為中國「全國重點文物保護單位」。
 鐵幢建於高1.42公尺的台基上,台基以九層石塊砌成。經幢用白口生鐵鑄成,高4.335公尺,重1.52公噸,底部直徑0.9公尺。最下為圓形基座,共二層,下層鑄八尊半身力士像,上層有十尊釋迦牟尼佛坐像,並飾有金剛杵及龍虎等紋飾。
 幢身四層,層間置蓮瓣、飾聯珠紋的寶蓋及八角飛檐等。第三層幢身開三個長方形孔,第四層鑄一圓形拱門,門上有凸起的門釘。最上以仰蓮承剎杆和三重相輪,相輪上飾直列的水波紋。頂端原置有寶瓶,已佚。幢身上鑄有《般若波羅蜜多心經》及捐資人、鑄造者及各州、府地方職官姓名。
