Qing Imperial Palace: Mandala
Gold
金累絲鏨花曼荼羅
中國
清代（1644～1911）宮廷佛堂供器。曼荼羅，即壇城，此作仿藏式壇城，為乾隆年間（1736～1795）金銀器的代表作。
曼荼羅呈圓形，底座周壁寶相花紋為地，間飾桃形八吉祥，以金累絲鑲嵌綠松石。座面上緣採用掐絲工藝塑造人、獸、樹、雲、火等形象，座上以累絲製成八大寒林輪。
曼荼羅中央有方形基座，每面有累絲金剛杵紋台階。座上置宮殿，宮殿每面有長方形城門，門內供奉大威德及眾賢。殿頂上有四層圓形座，座上再置雙層小閣樓。曼荼羅下方是紫檀木圓形座，雕刻卷草紋。
此作先鑄出曼荼羅，再採用累絲、鑲嵌等多種工藝於器身鐫刻紋路，做工細膩精美，金碧輝煌。
