Large Tibetan snow lion wooden casket

This handmade, high-quality Tibetan wooden box from Nepal combines traditional craftsmanship with powerful symbolism. It measures 37 cm in width, 23 cm in depth and 24 cm in height.

The body is dark red and richly hand-painted. The front shows the snow lion, one of the most important protective symbols of Tibet. The snow lion stands for courage, strength, joy and spiritual sovereignty and is regarded as the guardian of the teachings. The depiction is embedded in a colorful landscape with mountains, clouds and water - symbols of the harmony of the elements. Golden ornamental tendrils frame the motif and emphasize its solemn character.

The sides are adorned with lotus blossoms, symbolizing purity, renewal and spiritual awakening. The lid is decorated with a vajra motif and classic cloud ornaments that symbolize protection, constancy and the connection to the spiritual. A small brass clasp secures the contents.

The interior is kept plain and dark and is ideal for storing jewelry, mementos or ritual objects.
