About this piece
Red lacquer, a pair of doors, and something presumably very important inside.
This cabinet of cedar and pine was made in Tibet in the 19th century as a stand for a Buddha figure. Furniture of this kind often holds sacred objects or offerings in Tibetan homes and monasteries. A shaped, raised backboard with small finials rises above a flat platform, and below it two doors close over a compartment. Painted scrolling floral designs in dark gold cover the red field. The paint is worn and gently softened at the edges, with a dark brass-colored latch at center.
About 24 inches tall. It earns its place with or without a Buddha on top.
