Miniature Votive Stupa

Cleveland Museum of Art

Miniature Votive Stupa by an unknown artist depicts a small, intricately designed bronze or metal object with a cylindrical shape. The object has two distinct sections, with the top being shorter and wider and the bottom being taller and narrower. The top section features three rounded rectangular panels, each containing a seated figure. The middle section is covered in vertical lines of text. The bottom section showcases various figures, possibly in a procession. The object has a weathered appearance with a greenish-brown patina and visible signs of aging. The background of the image is dark, with a gradient transitioning from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
