| 説明 | 20.89 early 8th century Limestone H. 60 in. (152.4 cm); W. 38 in. (96.5 cm) This Carved Panel is a great example of Tang Dynasty stonemasonry, a low relief panel mincing the mural design for a wooden door. This panel was likely used as the “door” for a pagoda that was the final resting place for a high ranking monk. Since no inscription of the deceased can be found on the panel, the exact pagoda it was removed from will probably remain unknown. Similar pagoda with such a design of a panel can be found in the region of Songshan Mountain, Henan province. This panel can be broken down into three parts: the top arch, the central door, and the frame. The top arch is composed of two phoenixes entwined with branches and blooming flowers, an auspicious design. The top of the frame is composed of a pair of apsaras(飞天) giving offering, on the left and right of the frame are monk disciples(弟子) standing on top of lotus. The central panel is designed like a door, with a pair of Heavenly Kings in armor, stepping on demons called Jyaki, a popular design of the period. |
