Hello Sophia, Thank you for choosing Mearto for your online appraisal, once again. Based on the images and information you provided, this item is: A small (4 inches) Buddha Tsa Tsa. Buddha Tsa Tsas, also known as Tsha-Tsha or Tsha-Tsha tablets, are small clay or plaster votive tablets used in Buddhist traditions, particularly in Tibetan Buddhism. Tsa Tsas are created as offerings and objects of devotion. They are typically made in large quantities and placed in sacred spaces such as temples, stupas, altars, or alongside other religious objects. They serve as a focal point for prayer, meditation, and acts of merit. Buddha Tsa Tsas are commonly made from a mixture of clay, plaster, or other natural materials. The materials are molded and shaped into flat or slightly raised tablets, usually measuring a few inches in height. In some cases, special ingredients or blessed substances may be added to the mixture. Tsa Tsas often feature an image or relief of a Buddhist deity or a revered spiritual figure, such as the Buddha, bodhisattvas, or revered lamas. The depiction may be a simplified representation of the deity or may incorporate specific iconographic details, such as hand gestures (mudras) or other symbolic elements associated with the particular figure.
