The practice of making tsha tshas is of Indian origin and numerous equivalents in the shape of plaques and miniature stupas moulded in the round dating from the 7th to 11th centuries have been uncovered in abundance on different Buddhist sites such as Bodhgayā, Sārnāth, Nālandā and Ratnagiri. With the spread of the Buddhist doctrine, this practice has been disseminated to other parts of Asia where it has undergone more or less important developments, as evidenced by the numerous archaeological discoveries. This chapter provides a preliminary inventory of the inscriptions stamped on tsha tshas . It presents a systematic survey of a large corpus for a better understanding of their diversity and establishes a first classification. The survey highlights a significant development in the frequency of use of the different inscriptions over the centuries. Keywords:Asia; Buddhist sites; tsha tsha inscriptions
