This Buddhist scripture pillar engraved with sacred Buddhist scriptures belongs to a group of miniature pagodas (scenic pagodas), which are only found in the Gansu Corridor in northwest China. Their age ranges from 426 AD to 36 AD, some of which bear the names of Buddhist donors who entrusted them at home. A pagoda is a circular building built to worship Buddhist relics. Miniature pagodas may be commemorating visits to holy sites or representing donations to religious groups and sites.
