Two Antique Tibetan Buddhist Amulets Thokcha Tsa Tsa Vajrapani Namasangiti Manjushri

BRONZE THOGCHAG  or THOKCHA
Thokcha are Ancient Tibetan talismans (amulets) which are traditionally worn next to the body for protection, healing and good luck. They can also be fastened to clothing, tied to religious articles, carried in the pocket, tied to other sacred amulets and worn around the neck.  Thokcha amulets have been used in sacred religious rituals for thousands of years to dispel evil and all negative energy and to bring good luck, healing and prosperity in all its forms. Thokcha were frequently used by the Tibetan Shamen in their healing rituals and were often given to the person in need of healing as these sacred amulets have a huge amount of sacred energy and magical power and would speed up the healing process. Thogchags are very sacred amulets and are believed to have fallen from the sky and are magically formed and not manufactured by human beings. Thogchags are made of Bronze and meteoritic metals and date back as far as the Bronze Age. Thokcha translates as ‘Sky-Iron’ or ‘Heavenly Iron’

The name Vajrapani is a Sanskrit word that translates as “thunderbolt in the hand”. Therefore, this Vajrapani Thochag depicts him in his classic warrior pose wielding a vajra over his right shoulder. In Buddhism Vajra symbolizes the male aspect of compassion and skillful means. Additionally, in his left hand, he holds the lasso which is used to strangle the demons of delusion. Generally speaking, the wrathful appearance of Vajrapani is meant to crush obstacles to spiritual realization. 

TERRA COTTA TSA TSA
This Tsa Tsa was made by pressing clay into a metal reverse-mold after which it was fired. Namasangiti is the twelve-armed form of Manjushri - the embodiment of enlightened wisdom and knowledge, known as 'Gentle Glory'.

Such tablets were acquired by Buddhist devotees and pilgrims as acts of merit, often at religious sites, as mementos and talismanic or protective keepsakes. The plaques often were made in one location and carried by pilgrims to be left at a site in another location, perhaps in a cave or at an important shrine.
