This is a bronze sutra cylinder with an umbrella-shaped lid. The double-tiered lid locks onto the cylinder’s top. The tapered knob at the lid’s center has three carved ridges, as if to resemble a multi-tiered Buddhist stupa. The most outstanding feature of this cylinder is its tall and slim body. Similar cylinders have been discovered in Oita Prefecture (in Kyushu); therefore, this exhibit is likely to have been cast in northern Kyushu.
