This is a rare early leather cabinet. It is entirely made of thick yak leather without any wooden or iron frame, with only iron nails used to reinforce the edges. The lid of the cabinet is designed with a decorative wavy pattern along the edges, adorned with exquisite continuous bead patterns. The surface is deep brown, with red outlines on its front, top, and sides, followed by gold trim, creating intricate and delicate designs. The decorative patterns primarily consist of intertwined floral motifs with graceful branches. In the center, there is a motif known as Kirtimukha or the “Face of Glory”, also a protective totem in Tibetan Buddhism believed to ward off evil and bless with peace. On both sides are the auspicious symbols of the “Eight Auspicious Emblems”, with the lotus holding a wish-fulfilling jewel. The top features a continuous square pattern, giving it a modern touch!
