Comments:Zwalf 1985The impressed plaques of later Buddhist India may have inspired the common and varied stamped talismans (‘tsha-tsha’) which Tibetans produced in quantity from metal moulds and enshrined or carried in bags or boxes. The figure shown corresponds to illustrations of Rol-pa’i rDo-rje (1717-86), the Hutuktu, or incarnation in charge of the Lama temple in Peking. An incarnation – more strictly emanation – of Mañjuśrī, he carries Mañjuśrī ‘s sword and book on flanking lotuses, while his right hand is raised in reassurance and the other holds the vase of life.
