The inscription on the reverse of the mandorla can be interpreted, "Disciple Zhou Mingzhi [romanized Korean Ju Myung-ji/Ju Myeong-ji] commissioned this Amitabha Buddha for his maternal grandson Zong Hengshan [romanized Korean Jong Hang-san] with the wish that Hengshan will retain his clear mind and be reborn in the pure land." It is unclear if the names refer to Chinese or Korean donors as the names are unusual in Korean.
