Joanne,
While I cannot speak of the carved script. I would have to agree with Mike and Pierre as to the functional design. I have seen shopkeepers in Thailand, Hong Kong and even in China Town get extremely upset with Caucasian buyers who would pick up a religious statue from a display by the head.
Remembering as well the instructions given to me when I traveled abroad, �never pat a child on the head, it is taken as a grave insult�. This is not unlike what is regarded by Muslims of depictions of Mohammed as being blasphemous.
