东京国立博物馆藏“十六国佛金铜坐像”考

On Gilt Bronze Buddha Seated Statue Dated Sixteen Kingdoms Period Collected by Tokyo Museum

由东京国立博物馆收藏的"十六国佛金铜坐像",一直被学界认为是中国早期重要的金铜佛造像之一。笔者通过长期比较和研究后认为,此像的风格特征和铸造特点,与资料所见的所有十六国金铜佛造像均存差异,其极有可能是清末民初的古董商仿现存于美国哈佛大学福格美术馆所藏"十六国时期佛金铜坐像"而做的伪品。

The Seated Buddha in Meditation with Hands in Dhyana-Mudra dated Sixteen Kingdomperiod（AD 304-439）,which is now kept in the Tokyo National Museum,Japan,has always beenregarded as one of the important gilt-bronze Buddhist statues in the early period of China. However,afterlong-term comparisons and research,the author finds that there exist differences both in casting and thecharacteristics of style between this statue and all the other published guilt-bronze statues dated SixteenKingdom period. Thus,the author suggests that this statue from the Tokyo National Museum is most likelyan imitation made by a certain antique dealer of late Qing and early Republic of China, imitating thestatue now in the Fogg Museum of Harvard University,USA.
