大魏普奉三年
歳在癸丑正月
十二日弟子徐
羽為父母敬造
佛像一軀天下
太平
聖普　
Inｔhe 3rd Universal Year Dedicated to Greater Wei*
On January 12th in the Year of Water-Buffalo (533)
One statue of Buddha was respectfully erected to
(my) fater and mother by disciple Xu Yu.
Peace in the world.
Sacred Universal

* It probably applies to the Northern Wei Dynasty
386-534 AD., which is confirmed by the subsequent cyclical dating. It was the time when the Buddhism spread quickly from India to the rest of Asia.

I think this is a modern forged object.

With regards,
I.Nagy

It is a Tibetian Ghau (amulet container or prayer box), usually made of metal, ornamented with semi-precious stones (lapis lazuri, red coral etc.)
Could be a forgery, too. I am not much familiar with Tibetian art objects.

With regards,
I.Nagy
