Stupa, Chorten
The stupa, called chorten in Tibetan, is a central symbol of Buddhism and an expression of the enlightened spirit of Buddha.
The stupa is crafted from Himalayan quartz and stands on a three-tiered base. Surrounded by four leaf-encrusted pillars, it supports the centrally tapered roof, whose top is adorned with a small, teardrop-shaped crystal. The base is crafted with delicate filigree and repoussé techniques, decorated with floral ornaments; the four corners of the roof culminate in dragon heads. The stupa is gilded and silver-plated and set with colored stones.
