A type of Buddhist altar implement, this vase is made of an alloy cast from copper with lead and other metals, and then turned on a lathe. Because similar objects have been excavated from the reliquary room of the pagoda reconstructed in 741 at the temple ruins of Qingshansi in the province of Shanxi, China, this vase was probably made in the first half of the 8th century. In Japan, we can see an almost identically shaped vase among the objects preserved at Hôryû-ji Temple, and another of a somewhat older form, which was excavated from the Watanuki Kannonyama Burial Mound in Gunma Prefecture.
