Reliquary in the Shape of a Stupa
The object is a dark-colored, weathered, and aged relic with a rounded base. The base features multiple ridged lines stacked on top of each other. A decorative band encircles the middle section. The middle section is bulbous and rounded. The top section consists of stacked, flat, circular and square shapes, decreasing in size, resembling a series of disks and a small cone. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
