Large Tibetan "Cheppu" wooden casket

This handmade, high-quality Tibetan wooden box from Nepal combines traditional craftsmanship with deeply rooted symbolism. It measures 25.5 cm in width, 12.5 cm in depth and 15 cm in height.

The body is a vibrant red color and is artfully hand-painted. The front shows the striking face of the "Chepu", a mythical protective being that drives away evil spirits in Tibetan-Nepalese culture and stands for strength and spiritual vigilance. The figure is framed by ornamental tendrils in green and gold. Lotus blossoms are depicted on the sides - symbols of purity and spiritual awakening.

The lid features a traditional cloud motif that expresses good luck and a connection to the spiritual. A small brass clasp rounds off the overall look and secures the contents. The interior is kept plain and dark and is ideal for storing small treasures, pieces of jewelry or ritual objects.
