Wood, copper alloy, and gemstone
百寶嵌七佛鉢
中國
清代（1644～1911）宮廷佛事使用的法物，應是佛前供器之一。鉢呈圓形，高13公分，口徑14公分，黃漆為地，人物、紋樣均以厚螺鈿、蜜蠟、珊瑚、綠松石、青金石、白玉及銅鎏金片等鑲嵌而成。鉢口以白玉鑲嵌蕉葉紋飾，大小不同的花葉間隔排列，其外一圈七佛滅罪真言。腹部繪七佛，均身披紅色袈裟，雙手結印，結跏趺坐於蓮座上。七佛之間飾祥雲紋，雲間有各色花朵，從天而降。鉢下緣裝飾花瓣紋。
鉢由仰覆蓮座相托，下有底座，髹黑漆，並描金裝飾點綴。底座似海水托住層疊的雲朵，水中生出七朵白蓮，綠色花蕊分別承托法輪、法螺、勝利幢、華蓋、蓮花、雙魚、寶瓶與吉祥結等八吉祥。
