Buddhist votive clay tablets known as Tsa-Tsa's (a name whose root has been traced back to Sanskrit). According to tradition, clay is transformed into a receptacle for sacred power when it is impressed with an image of a deity or holy symbol.
The artifacts are commissioned by bereaved Buddhist families as a way of honoring and bidding farewell to their loved ones. The Bhutanese and Tibetan people believe that making Tsa-Tsa is a way of accumulating merits and virtues.
