A Tibetan Gilt-Bronze Tsa-Tsa Mould Depicting Depicting Yamantaka.

The reverse features a projecting handle with a pierced hole, allowing for ease of use in stamping votive plaques. Such moulds were traditionally employed to create tsa-tsa, small devotional tablets used in Buddhist rituals and placed within stupas or shrines.
