While D— was in the village she met a craftsman who made traditional tools. She commisioned him to make an implement for me (I have to ask D— again what it's called). It took him two days to make by hand and the gentleman tried to give the work to D— but she insisted on paying him. I'll post a photo of him posing with his handiwork as soon as I sift through the 1200 plus photos she took!
D— found a traditional holster in Katmandu to go along with it. How cool is this? I photographed it (quick and dirty) placed on a Tibetan carpet she picked up.
It's 15.5 inches long (to give a sense of scale).
