Tibetan "Chemar-Bo" ritual vessel for offerings

This Tibetan chemar-bo, also known as a chemar box, is a traditional ritual vessel that is mainly used on festive and religious occasions.

The chemar-bo is traditionally used to store chemar - a mixture of roasted flour, butter and sugar - as well as tsampa or small offerings. These are offered at ceremonies, welcoming rituals and especially at Losar, the Tibetan New Year, as a sign of good luck, prosperity, purity and good relationships. Guests are symbolically given some chemar to wish them blessings, good health and success for the coming year.

With its elaborate painting and symbolic imagery, this chemar-bo is not only a ritual object, but also an expression of Tibetan craftsmanship and cultural significance - a vessel that embodies protection, good luck and positive orientation in both domestic and ceremonial settings. The vessels are carved and painted by Tibetans in a workshop in Nepal according to traditional models.

The vessel is available in two sizes:

Medium: Length: approx. 33 cm. Height: approx. 23 cm. Weight: 670 g

Large: Length: approx. 40 cm. Height: approx. 29 cm. Weight: 1070 g
