[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 435365, member: 2844"]Auctioneers make up the strangest things, don't they. It is a Tibetan scroll holder, mid 20th century, made of base metals. The words are Sanskrit, the religious language used in most forms of Buddhism. There are never images of Guanyin/Quan Yin in Tibetan Buddhism, if there are female deities it is likely to be Tara. Meiji is a Japanese period, so it isn't relevant in this case.[/QUOTE]
