 An ornamental bowl with inlaid turquoise and red coral.  Copper filigree work with Buddhist statues and colored stones / gems surround the bottom.

 This bowl was handmade by artisans in the Namche market village near the Khumjung Monastery . . . at the foot of the Himalayas.

 Age unknown but most likely mid-1900s. A very nice gift for yourself or others. Stands not included. 2″ tall x 5″ in diameter.
