Toling Monastery: Tsatsas
CHINA, Tibet, Ngari; Late 10th–12th century; Clay |
These two examples of tsatsas were created during the late 10th to 12th centuries. Both of them were discovered at Toling Monastery.
The tsatsa of Avalokitesvara shows the Bodhisattva with a beaded nimbus sitting in a variation of the royal ease posture on a lotus throne. To the right of Avalokitesvara, there is a stupa with indecipherable Tibetan script below it. The second tsatsa has a depiction of a descension stupa, on either side of which there are nine rows of script in Sanskrit. |
