Gilt bronze vase with four rings
Gilt bronze vase with four rings
This jar was transmitted as an object excavated from Furumiya in Asuka Village, Nara Prefecture ( Sakai Prefecture at that time ) in 1879, and bought by the Imperial Court next year. The place of excavation was the Imperial Palace of Emperor Suiko, which is assumed to be the location of Oharidanomiya Palace used until the Nara period. Recent investigation showed that an arabesque pattern and two pairs of birds considered to be phoenixes are expressed on nanako ground throughout the surface, meaning it was probably of produced for and used by a person of high rank.（「New Edition Grace, Beauty and Inqenuity-Masterpices of the Museum of Imperial Collections, Sannomaru Shozokan Vol.1」2003）
