This small traditional Tibetan chest has been hand made and painted at our workshop in Nepal by skilled artisans specializing in woodwork and painting. It is ideal for use as a decorative piece or jewellery box. This chest contains traditional Tibetan motifs featuring the mystical garuda, a golden lotus on each side and drifting clouds on the top.
The garuda is the mythical king of birds in Buddhist philosophy and also a guardian spirit that is often depicted listening to the sermons of the Buddha. This mythological creature is also the national emblem of Thailand and Indonesia.
The lotus holds great importance in Buddhist philosophy and signifies one's ability to rise above the murk and achieve enlightenment. The lotus is also the pedestal that many Buddhist deities are seated on.
This chest is perfect for adding some colour to home. It can also be used as a spiritual safe to hold your most precious dharma items and precious documents, memories and jewellery.
