The simplicity of the painting of this box is an indication of its early age, with its flat top and lotus leaf design along the top which imitates the carved scallop of the early boxes from Lhokha, Southern Tibet. In the central cartouche is a simple, dominant design of the flaming jewels, representing the Buddhist dharma or doctrine. The field is plain cinnabar red, with elaborate scrolls in the corners and a series of coloured borders.
