TIBETAN TRUNK WITH FLORAL PIGMENT

A wonderfully painted trunk has retained its lovely coloration as well as condition. This door is unique in its simplicity and fully balanced symbols. The design features on the door can be indicatively of the social status of its owner, no doubt this trunk was used by a wealthy Tibetan family or for keeping the treasure safe in temple, and thus not subjected to the same wear and tear visited on those owned by village households.
