Large, traditional water vessel from the Himalayas

This large, highly cylindrical turned vessel made of solid wood features fine decorative lines all around. It probably originates from Nepal or Tibet and was used to store drinking water. The shape is functionally simple and robust, the neck slightly flared for easy filling and emptying.

The vessel shows a deep, brown-red patina caused by use and exposure to the elements - a sign of its use in everyday rural life in the Himalayas.

Provenance: The object comes from a private collection. It was acquired in Nepal around 1960. Details on request.

Brief instructions for measuring wrist size:
Loosely wrap a measuring tape or string around your wrist where you want the bracelet to sit. Make sure that it fits snugly but does not cut in. Read the circumference directly from the measuring tape or measure the length of the cord with a ruler.

Note:
The length of the bracelet may be 1 cm to 3 cm longer than the measured wrist circumference, depending on your taste.

Brief instructions for measuring ring size:

Method 1: Measure the inner diameter of a suitable ring
  • Take a ring that fits well.
  • Place it on a ruler and measure the inside diameter (from one inner edge to the other).
  • Compare the diameter with the table to determine the ring size.
Method 2: Measure the circumference of your finger
  • Take a thin strip of paper or thread.
  • Wrap it around the part of the finger where you want the ring to sit (not too tight).
  • Mark the point where the ends meet.
  • Measure the length of the strip in millimeters. This is the inner circumference.
  • Find the right size in the table.
Tips:
  • Measure the finger size in the evening, as fingers swell slightly during the day.
  • If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size.
  • Make sure that the ring fits over the knuckle.
