Toling Monastery: Tsatsas
CHINA, Tibet, Ngari
These two examples of tsatsas were created during the late 10th to 12th century. 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.
