Tibetan bronze stupa from the 19th century. Its design features traditional Buddhist architectural elements:

Base (Bhumi): The stupa's foundation is circular, adorned with a lotus-petal motif, symbolizing purity and enlightenment.

Drum (Medhi): Above the base is a tiered drum section, cylindrical in shape, with bands indicating structural or decorative design elements.

Harmika: The square platform at the top features crenelations that might signify a sacred enclosure or royal authority.

Spire (Chatra): Rising from the harmika, the spire consists of a conical series of rings that taper upward, symbolizing the path to enlightenment.

Top Element (Finial): The flame or jewel-like ornament crowns the stupa, representing ultimate enlightenment and liberation.

The bronze surface shows a patina, indicative of its age and exposure, lending it historical authenticity.

Stupas of this kind were used as reliquaries or symbolic representations of Buddha's teachings and are deeply revered in Tibetan Buddhist culture.
