A charming Tibetan painted leather storage trunk, 18th century, Tibet.
Of smaller size, the softwood construction of the trunk covered by a richly tanned yak leather. The central panel, also of leather, painted in a floral motif, somewhat reminiscent of the traditional leopard or tiger skin patch found on other trunks.

Two native patches to the front of the chest indicate the value placed on this piece by generations of owners.
