Many flint pouches are utilitarian, but this one is unusually luxuriant: the leather surface is studded with turquoise and coral. Some wealthy, 19th century Tibetan could have used this finely crafted leather pouch to carry flint, or he may have saved it to wear on special occasions.

What They're Saying

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
