陕西扶风法门寺唐代塔基地宫出土的银棱盝顶檀香木函，是安置佛指舍利的八重宝函的最外一层，但由于发现之时已经朽成碎块，未引起人们的关注。《法门寺珍宝》图录中将其残片首次全面公布。笔者在认真观察和比对之后，对残片上的纹饰题材进行了综合考证，认为其题材包括梵王及帝释礼佛、药师佛、释迦牟尼说法以及西方净土世界等。%The silver-plated sandalwood casket with a lfat-topped roof unearthed from the underground palace of the Famen Temple is the outermost one of the eight-fold reliquaries of the ifnger bone sarira of Buddha. It had rotten away and fallen apart at the time of discovery, so it drew little attention at that time. The illustrated catalog FamenSiZhenbao (Treasures of Famen Temple) completely published its fragments for the ifrst time, which provided chances for the author of this paper to closely observe it and compare its motifs with that of other similar objects. This paper makes a comprehensive examination to the motifs of this casket and identiifed that these motifs included the Brahmāand Indra worshipping Buddha, Bhaisajyaguru, Sakyamuni preaching and the scene of the Western Pure Land Paradise, etc.
