Buddha in the Money Tree
Bronze and earthenware
銅佛像搖錢樹
中國
中國早期銅器佛教文物，造於漢代（206 BCE～220）。搖錢樹盛行於漢代、三國（220～280）至晉代（265～420），為協助亡靈升天的隨葬明器，以四川盆地最盛行此風。
器呈樹形，樹身為青銅鑄，下接陶釉樹座。樹身中為樹幹，上有五層鏤刻的樹葉，交錯伸出，排列有致，葉上綴飾仿製銅錢、神話人物及飛舞鳳鳥等。樹最頂端中央為西王母，坐於寶座上，兩側各有一龍。下方有二羽人立於龍身之上，右側一人足踏一虎。再下為小坐佛一尊，肉髻高聳，相貌圓滿，著通肩袈裟，陰刻衣紋，為早期的佛造像樣式。
樹座為紅陶施釉，座頂一人騎坐神獸，下為三層浮雕百姓舞樂、農耕圖樣。
