Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Buddhist altar fittings such as bronze bowl and bottle were first produced in India, and then was introduced to China accompanied by Buddhist culture. I chemically analyzed the bronzes in the Sengoku Collection from the Han to the Six Dynasties periods. A major feature of the bowl is the chisel carving of the Sogdian figures and the beasts. It consists of lead-free alloys and the lead isotope ratio fall in “Region B” which was initially defined as a region occupied by the Eastern Han mirrors. According to the similar bowl carving Sogdian figure excavated in the “Pei Jing” tomb in Houma, Shanxi Province, it is probable that this bowl was made in the Southern Dynasties in the early 6th century.
