[edit] Summary
Sculpted Tibetan manuscript cover, carved with central deities and auspicious objects within geometric designs and scrolling borders.
Central to the carver's artistic structure, the Buddha Shakyamuni is surrounded by the Eight Auspicious Symbols, among which to his left includes, the "Vase of Treasure." This container symbolizes an endless reign of long life, wealth, prosperity and all of the benefits in this world for the liberated being. To the right of the Buddha, the two "Golden Fish" characterize the auspiciousness of all living beings in a state without danger and migrating from place to place spontaneously, just as fish swim freely without fear through water.
