Small votive plaques such as the present lot are known in Tibetan as tsha tsha. They were made to serve as pilgrims' souvenirs, portable shrines and to be inserted into large stupas to enhance sacredness. Several complete sets of 360 plaques were found inside the garden of Cining gong, the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility, in the Forbidden City, Beijing. Some were commissioned by the Qianlong emperor in 1749, as discussed by Luo Wenhua in the introduction of Eulogies to the Sacred Images of the Buddhas and Boddhisattvas, Beijing, 2008, p. 8.
