The thirteen discs of the spire are carved from deep blue lapis, crowned by a gilt flaming jewel set with turquoise. The bulbous dome is also lapis, with a gilt niche on the front flanked by makara-head handles, and a green jade inscribed plaque above. The square base is a cloisonné enamel pedestal with balustrades, gilt steps and lion-headed ribbons at the front. This is a Tibetan-style stupa, or chorten, of the dome-and-spire form, enshrined before an altar to hold a relic or sacred text. The square pedestal, the thirteen stacked discs of the spire symbolising the thirteen heavenly stages, and the flaming gilt jewel follow the Tibetan Buddhist iconometric canon. Such stupas were placed in Qing palace chapels and used for ritual blessings on imperial birthdays and New Year.
