 |  |  | | Old Town Antiques Tibetan flint pouch, cover & toggle (firestarter) | Tibetan flint pouch, cover & toggle (firestarter) at Old Town Antiques |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | | 6 1/2" x 2 3/4" pouch | | A wonderful piece of history, this is a flint or firestarter pouch from the Himalayas, either Tibet or Nepal. This one is unusual as I have never found a pouch with the chain, toggle and the embroidered cover. Most covers did not survive into the market. The pouch is an embroidered brocade with fine chain-stitched designs and in silk or cotton and silver bullion thread. It is worn but beautiful. The toggle is carved stone in a floral form, held on with an old metal button with a design of a bird perched on a flowering branch. The pouch itself is very worn with losses to the leather, mostly in the back, but the applied silver decorations are all there and the pouch still has tinder inside.
