A chest of Macassar ebony drawers is fitted to a stand of Swiss pear wood. The cabinet was commissioned for an exhibition curated by Martha Haveman and Karel Betman, whose idea was to ask artisans to create a gift for a chosen person. The organisers would ultimately contact the intended recipients. Stevan crafted this piece for Lama Yeshe Rinpoche, the abbot of Samye Ling Buddhist monastery in Scotland.
