Trunks & Boxes

We are currently offering Choyon and Torma trunks. These had very specific uses; Chöyön trunks were used in monasteries and lamaseries to store valuable gifts of silk and other ritual items, and the trunks' widths were calculated to hold unused rolls of silk. This usage began because of a special relationship, known as chöyön, that was established in 1244 between the Mongol ruler, Godan Khan, and his spiritual advisor, the Tibetan lama Sakya Pandita. Torma trunks were used for to hold torma or the ingredients to make the torma when the Lama went visiting.
