A LARGE BRONZE MODEL OF BUDDHIST PAGODA    唐/北宋 大型青銅九層佛塔


  • Dimension: Height: 37 1/8 in (94.0 cm)
  • Estimate From: $25000
  • Estimate To: $45000

The nine-story pagoda set on a square base with an arched stair leading to the entrance door guarded by four buddhist warriors at each corner; each tier graduate in size and with protruding and curving roof, the uppermost roof surmounted with finial. Possibly Northern Song Dynasty period.


用青銅製成,完全按照中國古建築營造法式小型塔,樓閣式塔,塔身呈四方型,塔基之上有九層,塔身自下往上依次向內收分,上小下大。一層至九層,每層塔檐向外挑出,飛簷翹角;塔基有樓梯、圍欄,整體保存完好,實屬不易。
