About
Vintage wooden tea container from the Bhote, that is, Tibetan stock peoples of the high mountain areas of the Nepal Himalaya. In this case the wooden container most likely comes from the Gurung or Sherpa, and dates to the mid-20th century.
Drinking and sharing butter tea is a fundamental aspect of Bhote / Tibetan social interaction, and a tea container such as this was and is found in every home or monastery. This one is made of wood, imbued with a lovely patina from years of use and handling; with metal straps and a wooden lid.
Condition: There are a couple of old repairs on the body, but the piece is solid and strong and structurally sound.
Dimensions: 6 inch diameter by 21 inches tall.
