Ibrahiim, thank you for the fascinating and detailed response!!! These are truly interesting chests and would really make for some great context items in display groupings!
I think this forum is a great accent to our others as the kinds of items discussed here reflect material culture contemporary and in the style of many items which were indeed in context of the weapons we study.

Rick, this is really a nice example, and it would seem to be Tibetan as pretty much the consensus here. I wonder if it would have been to hold some of the ceremonial items often worn as accoutrements by monks in the temples?
