I am listing this again as I think this is one of the most interesting constructions. I have yet to see another one like it of same age or type.If anyone has please post. There are many made of similar idea as either Tibetan as old and also many more as forgeries. This one has bone inlaid as well with gilt filagree mesh over top having also a clasp that is stamped with Mongolian caligraphy.
