Votive tablet; Showing Sakyasima Statue at Bodhgaya
Innumerable votive tablets made in clay molds have been deposited as religious acts of good merit by local and foreign pilgrims and other worshippers at Buddhist sites across Asia. This Bagan period example is of a type even known to have been buried within the brick structures of temples and stupas in Bagan, the ancient capital of Myanmar. It features at the center a representation of the Buddha touching the earth to acknowledge his defeat of the demon Mara.
