Hi Danny,

To me, what a pretty and wearable interpretation of neo-Tibetan, I'd guess from Nepal.....the 2 central floral motifs, the inlaid turquoise chips, the triangular decorated end pieces, the black yarn/cord at the back remind me of work from that part of the world...but there are other elements that are quite "modern" looking - the asymmetry, for one. I like the mixed metals and the nice quality turquoise and coral. Someone did a really nice job!

Sorry, I don't know when Tibetan-influenced work started in Nepal, but I'd imagine Pema Arts may have been one of the first, close to 20 years ago (or maybe +).
