Standing at 37.9 cm tall, with a width of 35.3 cm and a depth of 12.2 cm, this gao is constructed from hammered metal and dates back to the middle of the 20th century. Its intricate design features ornate detailing that reflects the artistry prevalent in Nepali culture.

The interior houses a small Buddha statue, symbolizing peace and enlightenment, framed by an elaborate depiction of mantras, enhancing the gao’s spiritual significance.
