This paper is a study on the design of the gilt-bronze sarira caskets discovered in 1959 and 1996, from a east and a west three-story stone pagodas in Gameunsa Temple site which was built in 682. One of the most interesting discoveries is the ceiling with Bokdu(覆斗) design which can be seen in Dun-Huang grotto of China, reflected upon the ceiling structure of the cover (outer casket) and the square box (inner casket). The structure of these sarira caskets, as art crafts, directly represents architectural structure of Dun-Huang grotto that was made during the early T'ang period of China. Moreover, the sarira caskets are decorated with ornate designs and these designs also can be seen on the murals of Dun-Huang grotto. Accordingly, those sarira caskets tell us creative ability and international taste of Silla's craftsmen. By tracing the origin of structure and design pattern of the sarira caskets to Central Asian and Chinese architectures, it is able to understand international style of the sarira caskets of Gameunsa Temple site.

In 1966, $Seokgatap$ pagoda in $Bulguksa$ temple was damaged by the tomb robbers and was dismantled to fix the damage. In the process, many offerings to Buddha and containers for Sarira(the cremated remains) were found in $Sarigong$(specially designated space for the Sarira casket) inside the second floor of the pagoda. Many fabrics like $Geum$, $Neung$(twill), $Rha$(complex gauze), silk tabby and linen were also excavated. In this study, $Geum$ fabric from the $Seokgatap$ was closely examined. $Geum$ of $seokgatap$ is weft-faced compound weave according to the analysis of its weaving pattern which was wrongly presumed as warp-faced compound weave for some time. Technical analysis of $Geum$: Main: silk, Binding: silk, Proportion: 1 main warp to 1 binding warp, Count: 15 main warps and 15 binding warps per centimeter, Weft: polychrome silk without apparent twist, Colors: yellow, mustard yellow, deep blue, green and purple, Weave: weft-faced compound twill, 1/2 S. $Geum$ of $Seokgatap$ was made in the $8^{th}$ century, since it was weaved in weft-faced compound weave twill which was popular in the $8-9^{th}$ century. And also, the arrangement of the colors was done in the same way of gradation $Geum$ silk which was popular in the $7-8^{th}$ C in China and Japan. Third, we restored the pattern of $Geum$ of the Unified Shilla Dynasty for the first time. It was very difficult to figure out the shape and the size of pattern since the fabric was partially lost and ruined. We tried to draw the diagram of structure with the cross point of the warp and the weft to restore the pattern. By doing so, we could identify two kinds of small flower pattern, palmette and the pattern of repeating vines. Fourth, we could infer that the $Geum$ of $Seokgatap$ was used for $geumdae$(a pouch made of $geum$) by analyzing all the documents and the characteristics of the fabric.

이 논문은 1966년 경주 불국사 석가탑에서 발견된 무구정광대다라니경 목판본의 간행연도에 관한 연구이다. 이 다라니경은 한국에서 간행된 현존 세계 최고의 인쇄물로 널리 알려져 있다. 그런데 최근에 중국의 한 학자는 이 다라니경이 701년에 한역(漢譯)되고 702년에 중국 뤄양(낙양(洛陽))에서 인쇄한 것이라고 주장하였다. 이를 계기로 국제학술심포지엄 등이 열리는 등 최근 몇년 동안 다리니경에 대한 연구 논문이 집중적으로 발표되었다. 그러나 학자의 관점에 따라 다양한 의견이 제기됐음에도 불구하고 오히려 혼란을 초래한 논문도 많았다. 이 논문에서는 이 다라니경이 704년에 한역(漢譯)되었기 때문에 한역과 간행 연도에 대해 국내 학자들을 혼란스럽게 만든 중국학자의 주장이 잘못되었음을 규명하였다. 아울러 경전의 내용과 사리구(舍利具)의 명문에서 이 다리니경은 통일신라시대 탑을 만드는데 기본경전으로서의 기능을 한 것이었음을 밝혔다. 그러므로 석가탑 역시 이 다리니경의 조탑(造塔) 사상(思想)에 의해 조성되었고 이 다라니경은 석가탑 건립(751년)이 계기가 되어 간행된 목판본이다.
