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

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
