明代宦官马永成墓出土银印章盒的研究
Research on a silver seal box excavated from the tomb of Eunuch Ma Yongcheng of the Ming Dynasty
摘要
Abstract
The tomb of Eunuch Ma Yongcheng of the Ming Dynasty was excavated by the Beijing Municipal Institute of Archaeology from September 2014 to April 2015.A silver seal box was found in the niche on the north wall of the tomb,with a lock and a key attached to the box.The lock was hung on the box,and the key was placed in front of the box.In this study,X-ray diffraction,X-ray spectrometry,and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometry were used to analyze the composition and manufacturing process of the seal box.The results show that the seal box was made of a silver alloy with a lower copper content,and both its lid and body were welded with several rectangular hammered silver pieces.In addition,the box and its accessories such as the lock,the key and hinges were gilded.The results could provide new materials for understanding the technical characteristics of silver products in the Ming Dynasty.According to the study,silver boxes excavated from Ming tombs have different shapes and functions and were widely used in upper levels of society at that time.Metal locks unearthed from Ming tombs are mainly springlocks,mostly used for tomb doors,wooden boxes and treasure boxes,and the use of metal locks by the civilian class at that time was also common.The production of the seal box was related to Ma Yongcheng's preference for and access to metal materials brought as a result of his employment experience.关键词
