I think the motif that looks like one of the Buddhist treasures reminded you of Tibetan, which is understandable.</p><p>It looks post 1950, because of the twisted wires used. Probably much later still.</p><p>The combination of cloisonné and stone inlay is a traditional one. The cabs could be dyed howlite, could you post closeups please?</p><p><br /></p><p>It is very decorative, with attractive colours, but not the best quality cloisonné. The wires and their application don&#039;t have finesse, and the enamel wasn&#039;t applied with much care.</p><p>I can&#039;t see this selling for a high price, so I think you&#039;ll enjoy its company for a long time, which is what you wanted anyway.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure it would shine if you give it&nbsp; a gentle wash, making sure you don&#039;t soak the stones. A dollop of foamy soap touching the stones isn&#039;t a problem, but wipe it off carefully.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, they do, throughout Asia.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
