The Collection >> Painted Tibetan Furniture >> A tantric cabinet
Ref: L1523
A rare 18thC Blue Makahala Torgam. The single door framed by an architectural moulding similar to that found on Tibetan temples. The interior contains a painted offering to the five senses ,depicted by a flaming skull cup containing , ears , nose heart tongue and eyes . The paint finish is undoubtedly of considerable age , but there is evidence of an earlier version underneath .When the single door is removed it is apparent that cabinet has at some stage housed a pair of doors instead of the single now in use. 48 x 19 x 59 cm
