Note:

Tsa-tsas are votive offerings traditionally placed in sacred sites such as caves, stupas, and mountaintops as acts of devotion and merit-making. Typically made of clay—often mixed with sacred substances like bone ash or relics—they may also be cast in metal. These objects serve both as expressions of faith and as a means of generating positive karma.
