For your consideration, you are viewing a handmade Tibetan bottle that has been handcrafted in Nepal at the Tibetan Refugee Camp in Patan, in the Kathmandu valley, it has an incredible mystic appeal from an ancient world. The Tibetans say that when you blow a wish into the bottle and cork it quickly, the wish will come true. This particular bottle has been inlaid in brass with the Tibetan mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" in ancient Lanydza script.
Each bottle is made from two circles of metal that have been pounded round and fixed together to make a pod, then edged with silver and brass metal and decorated around the top with a round brass geometric pattern that has been inlaid with small broken pieces of Glass Red Coral, Blue Lapis and Turquoise. It has a fixed copper scoop spoon, that fits inside the top opening of the bottle. The stopper lid top has been inlaid with a Turquoise that has been attached with a metal link chain (so that you can't lose it) which has been attached to fixed links on both sides of the bottle.
In
Western and European countries, these bottles are used as pendants or
as a charm. You would need a chain (or leather strap) you will also need
to add a couple of jump rings to add to the fixed side links on either
side of the bottle, as the stopper will not stay in the bottle if you
attach your pendant chain to the stopper chain.
The lids fit loosely as they were meant to hold solids rather
than liquids, ie: Snuff, Kohl, Perfume Balm. I am told that a rubber
O-ring to fit your bottle will help seal the lid and hold it on tightly.
Many people fill them with solid balm perfumes but I wouldn't recommend putting liquid such as perfume oil as perfume oils will leak.

TIBET is an autonomous region located in China, up high on the Tibetan plateau, to the north of the Himalayan Mountains. Originally an independent country (1912 until 1951), it is also known as the "The Roof of the World". The Tibetan people, language, and culture are distinctly different from China and its bordering countries of Nepal, Bhutan and India but it has been influenced by all. The indigenous Tibetan religion was combined with Buddhism, but this religion is also found in the regions surrounding the Himalayas and much of Central Asia. It originates from the later Indian Buddhism which preserves the "Tantric status quo of eighth-century India."
