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 round celadon incense box with lid was found in the fifth-story roof-stone of the pagoda. In addition to the sarira reliquaries, the discoveries made at this pagoda include two wooden, two stone, and two bronze Buddha statues crafted between the late Goryeo and early Joseon periods, as well as fifteen linked silver rings of different sizes.
