《Glaze Stupa》


This glaze stupa is 79cm high and 8 cm in diameter, weighing 7.45kg. It was unearthed in Qinzhou District of Tianshui.

The stupa is made of red pottery, covered with emerald glaze. It consists of pedestal, body and the top part. The pedestal is like a trumpet in shape. There are six peach-shaped hollow holes in its body. On the upper part there is a hexagonal hollow lotus. Multi-layer lotus flowers directly support the higher part of the stupa. On the top of the stupa, 13 layers of rings spiral around the column to hold up a yellow Buddhist vase. The stupa represents the superb technological and artistic level of Song Dynasty.
