Tsa-tsa, Tibet 19th century.
Actually tsatsas are votive tablets in Tibetan Buddhism, usually clay impressions made with a metal mould containing hollowed, reversed image of a deity, a stupa or other sacred symbols.
They are baked from clay mixed with the ashes of holy persons (lamas).
These tablets were made by monks, given to pilgrims, or placed inside stupas, prayer wheel niches, holy caves and monastery altars, or beside holy mountains, holy lakes and other holy sites.
Tsa tsas have been made by Tibetan Buddhists for hundreds of years as part of their meditation practice.
The making, offering, and sponsoring of tsa tsas is a powerful means of dispelling obstacles to one's practice and well-being.
Tsatsa, with its origin in Sanskrit, is a typical Tibetan Buddhist art form.
Small tsatsas can also be put inside a portable amulet shrine (called Gau in Tibetan) and taken as amulets by those traveling.
Making tsatsa is a compulsory skill of monks in Tibetan monasteries.
After tsatsas being molded, they are dried or fired to be hard.
Only after ritually empowered can they be used as holy objects!
On the backside of this item you can clearly see the fingerprints from the monk who made this fantastic and powerful item.
