Many-Jeweled Stupa Reliquary by Unspecified Artist. The object is a dark-colored, ornate, miniature stupa with a square base. The base has a flat top and is decorated with metal accents and designs. Four sides of the base have rounded rectangular protrusions with gold painted figures on them. The body of the stupa is rounded and has horizontal metal strips around it. Above the body is a roof with a tiered, spiral finial on top. The roof is made of multiple curved sections with a decorative edge. Small, tassel-like objects hang from the roof's edge. The background is dark gray and transitions to light gray at the bottom. A shadow is cast to the left of the object.
