Tibetan dagger (Gri Gu) - 19th / early 20th century
Finely crafted Tibetan dagger (Gri Gu) with a richly decorated scabbard and handle made of white metal, decorated with repoussé and engraved patterns of mythical creatures and protective symbols. The handle is wrapped in twisted silver wire and ends in a pommel decorated with a stylized snow lion motif - a traditional symbol of courage and joie de vivre.
The scabbard features detailed vine and dragon ornamentation and is fitted with a woven yellow carrying strap.
Such daggers were traditionally carried by men in Tibet and Bhutan and served both ritual and symbolic purposes - they stand for protection, strength and mastery of the elements.

- Take a ring that fits well.
- Place it on a ruler and measure the inner diameter (from one inner edge to the other).
- Compare the diameter with the table to determine the ring size.
- 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.
- 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.
