The 'Eight Auspicious Emblems' decorating the body of the present lot, originated in India and were originally ceremonial objects used at royal coronations. These objects, with some modifications were later adopted by Buddhism to represent the offerings made by the gods to Shakyamuni Buddha immediately after he gained enlightenment. They entered the Chinese design repertoire with the introduction of Tibetan Buddhism into China during the Yuan dynasty, reaching the height of their popularity during the Qing dynasty, when the emperors, especially Qianlong, were devout followers of Tibetan Buddhism.
