Description

明 黑漆戗金/黑漆描金 松鹤图纹倭角大漆茶盘

參考:紐約大都會博物館 明 永樂 紅漆戧金 《佛名經》 夾經板 Sutra Covers with the Eight Buddhist Treasures, Red lacquer with incised decoration inlaid with gold , China

This pair of sutra covers was made for an edition of the Tibetan Buddhist canon produced in Beijing at the order of the emperor in 1410. A triple flaming jewel is flanked by four of the Eight Buddhist Treasures. Unlike Chinese texts, which were either in scroll or accordion-fold-book format, Tibetan texts were formatted as stacks of horizontal, loose-leaf sheets that would have fit between these covers.

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 213

參考:紐約大都會博物館 清乾隆 填漆戧金餘慶雲盤 Tray with fish chime, treasures, and clouds, Polychrome lacquer with filled-in and engraved gold decoration, China

The two fish on this tray are suspended from a pendant in the shape of an ancient stone chime, which represents wishes for happiness and abundance (yuqing). The twin fish is also one of the eight Buddhist treasures—the other seven are arranged in the foreground: a wheel, conch shell, umbrella, parasol, flower, jar, and double knot. Shown with bats and clouds, these symbols convey auspicious wishes beyond religious meaning.
