Unlike other seals for religious and other purpose, this seal was only used for submitting the most important documents to the emperor and was applied on a continuous stringof paper to wrap around the scarf letter for protection and security. The Treasure Seal was granted by Emperor Qianlong to thesixth Panchrn Lama in 1780, cast in silver and inscribed in Manchu, Chinese, Tibetan and Mongolian.
