| Description of works | [Find Buddha on the back side of the handle, too] These cylindrical jars for storing sutras were buried underground to serve as “time capsules” for passing sutras from one generation to another. On the lid, statues of Buddha are sculpted on both sides of the handle, although it is very rare for this type of container to have a lid decoration. The surface of both the lid and the body were carefully smoothed. The body bears wavy combed patterns that must have resonated with the subtle chanting of sutras. |
