The tsebum, or long-life vase, is used in Buddhist rituals for longevity, as part of the offering, it is filled with symbolic amrita. The liquid nectar traditionally consisted of clean water and saffron to turn it yellow as well as a mix of auspicious substances.
The Tsebum represents the enlightened activity of Amitayus, the Buddha of longevity, and is used for long life rituals and empowerments, as well as placed on the altar.
This vase is made from copper and finely carved with Ashtamangala (Eight Auspicious symbols), which in general symbolizes a life without troubles and in harmony with Buddhist teachings.
The Ghau[Amulet ] on the top of the vase is easily openable: so you can place a proper image of Buddha Amitayus inside.
