KEY WORD : art history / sculptures | ||||||
A Buddhist image contained in a box-shaped
miniature shrine. Two symmetrical rectangular wings flank a main image,
carved in relief on a square or rectangular surface. The wings are carved
with subsidiary images and attached on hinges; they can be opened out flat,
or closed like doors to form a box. A good example is the shrine showing
*Shaka 釈迦 and attendants in Itsukushima Jinja 厳島神社, Hiroshima prefecture.
