The decoration on this cabinet is executed, for the most part, using the raised gesso technique, known as kyung bur, in Tibetan, which is then coated with rag-dul, a golden brass powder, or Dutch gold. On the four central panels, the doors, there is a central cartouche containing a flower on a red background. Painted on wood. The four side panels and three lower ones are fixed.
