北朝筆記 vol.26 哈佛大學博物館：南朝至隋 青銅三足硯 - Harvard Art Museum, Southern Dynasties Ink palette or Circular Stand

這種南北朝時期的響銅袖珍器物多出現於佛教相關的地宮或者塔基等場景，一般成組出現，是為商周青銅器弄器的類似作品。青銅的三足硯台最早可以追溯到漢代，牛津Ashmolean博物館便收藏有一套東方陶瓷學會重要成員英格拉姆爵士（Sir Herbert Ingram）收藏的帶蓋青銅三足硯台一套。

納爾遜博物館藏有一套藍理捷售出、松心閣經手的一套陶瓷的佛教禮儀陶瓷作品，也是此類作品的重要參考例子。

Ink palette or circular stand

Northern and Southern Dynasties period (420-589) to Sui dynasty (581-618)

Object Number

2006.170.224

Description

Wide, circular, dish-shaped ink palette or stand supported on three hoofed cabriole legs.

These bronze miniature objects from the Northern and Southern Dynasties period are frequently found in contexts associated with Buddhism—such as subterranean palace complexes or pagoda bases—and typically occur in sets. They are analogous in function to the auxiliary vessels found in Shang and Zhou bronzes. The three‐legged bronze inkstone stands can be traced back as early as the Han Dynasty; for example, the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford holds a set of covered three‐legged bronze inkstone stands once owned by Sir Herbert Ingram, an important member of the Oriental Ceramic Society.

The Nelson Museum also possesses a set of Buddhist ritual ceramic objects that were sold by Lan Lijie and handled by Song Xinge, which serve as another significant point of reference for this category of work.

H. 3.8 x W. (across legs) 12.3 x Diam. 10.2 cm (1 1/2 x 4 13/16 x 4 in.)
