The number 12 figures prominently in Tibetan astrology, making this simple chest’s dozen drawers the perfect canvas to honor the year of the dragon. Tibetan astrology recognizes a 12-year cycle, characterized by 12 animals, including the dragons that wind their way on this expressively painted cabinet. The gessoed dragons symbolize ambition, dignity and success. Camouflaged by lush flowers and vines, each writhing dragon clutches in its claws a lotus flower, a symbol of purity and perfection, and a peach, a symbol of immortality. We love the dynamic play between the cabinet’s richly grained wood frame and the intricately painted drawer fronts.
