Antique Tibetan Khampa Nomad’s Bullet Case 

Collected from Tibet in 2007 from the Barkhor sellers

Used by Khampa Nomads of Eastern Tibet

Leather and ornate Tibetan silver

The red bead *might* be coral but I am not sure.

Leather hanger attached – to allow the piece to hang from the wearer’s waist belt.

Rare relic of a vanishing lifestyle

Silver purses and flint lighters from the vanishing lifestyle are still available – even I have a few of those. But this is the only bullet case that I have seen and finding another – either in a store or online – is highly unlikely

Estimated to be from the early 1900s
