日本十二世紀下半葉之作。金剛法具指密宗修行中所使用之法器。該組法器包括金剛盤,五股金剛鈴、杵,及三股、獨股金剛杵共五件,代表日本鎌倉時代(1185~1333)的密教法器。一九五五年指定為日本國寶。
 金剛鈴、杵皆為銅鑄鎏金,握柄中央隆起,四面刻劃鬼目。金剛鈴高20.9公分,柄端為五股杵,杵頂中央設主股,外圍四鉤向內曲拱,以獅首銜接。鈴身外壁鐫刻四個蓮台圓相,配置胎藏界四佛之梵文種子字,圓相之間布滿寶相卷草紋。
 獨股杵長18.5公分,兩端皆為單杵形,又稱為一股杵。五股杵和三股杵分別長19.4公分、18.8公分,兩端各作五股形、三股形,由束腰仰覆蓮座承托,其鉤端、柄飾與五股鈴相仿。法具置於金剛盤上,盤呈不規則四葉形之傳統形式,盤面中有鈴座,盤下接三獸足。
