On the back of the backlight is carved a vow: “On June 8, the second year of Xianqing, the nun Zhang Huiguan was worshipped as the emperor and the parents of the monk, and the dharma world contained spirit. He made the two bodies of the multi-treasure Sakyamuni statue, and offered them with devotion. The nun and the sun all wanted to offer sacrifices. The disciples Huizang, Huichang and other offerings were observed.”
