Qing Imperial Palace: Mandala of Mount Sumeru

Gilt silver

銀須彌山曼荼羅

中國

清代(1644~1911)宮廷佛堂供器。曼荼羅銀質,高29公分,底徑37公分。圓形底座,側面附一圓環,用以繫五色哈達。底座邊緣鑄護板一圈,上刻山水圖案,山巒綿延起伏似鋸齒,象徵環繞宇宙邊緣的鐵圍山。座立面雕刻八吉祥及纏枝蓮紋。
 曼荼羅中心築一座四面呈梯形逐層內收的墩台,象徵位於宇宙中心的須彌山,周圍台面嵌置七政寶、塔龕及諸菩薩尊像。墩台下層四面堆塑山巒,上層為台階,表面未鍍金;頂置一亭式龕,四周設護欄,小亭檐角作寶珠形,龕內供奉乘白象的普賢菩薩像。
 須彌山山腰兩側各伸二圓盤,象徵日月輪,上刻雞、兔圖形。曼荼羅另繫有原清宮黃簽一條,書寫「達賴喇嘛恭祝萬壽呈遞丹書克進銀滿達一個上拴五色哈達」等文字。
 曼荼羅局部鍍金,表面部分因銀氧化而泛青黑色。造型古樸莊重,布局對稱嚴謹,實屬精品。
