Description
A rare fragment of an ancient Tibetan Tsa Tsa votive tablet , hand-shaped using traditional methods and then fired by hand. This piece depicts a tantric mandala in relief, organized around a central figure surrounded by dancing dakinis or wrathful female deities. Although the tablet is incomplete , having lost its upper part over time, it retains a strong symbolic and vibratory power.
Tsa Tsa were traditionally created by Buddhist monks and yogis to accumulate merit, bless a place, or as offerings in stupas and sacred caves. This type of tantric representation with dakini is typical of Tibetan practices, particularly those from the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages.
