			This yangam cabinet was used for storing sacred vases which were blessed in a ceremony by the monks and then stored in the monastery or homes for a year to bring blessings to the monastic community or household. The carved crown imitates the carved entrances to the temples in Tibet. The doors are decorated with a cinnabar red background and a floral pattern with coloured clouds above. On the side is the nam chu wang den, the 10 syllable mantra for the Kalachakra tantra. The inside is also decorated with colourful clouds and floral designs on the inside of the doors.
