Discovered in 1959 during repair work on the Five-story Brick Pagoda in Songnimsa Temple in Chilgok-gun, North Gyeongsang-do Province, this pavilion-shaped miniature stupa is one of the sarira reliquaries, including a glass cup and bottle, contained within a tortoise-shaped stone chest stored in the brick pagoda. This particular reliquary is made of gold plates and features four columns erected on a square base ornamented with a downturned-lotus motif and a lid in the shape of a lavishly decorated canopy. Inside this sarira reliquary there is a glass vessel with a polka-dot design containing a long-necked green glass bottle.
