If you have a brass, bronze or wooden Phurpa that is about 6-8” in total length, this is a hard case for your piece. Superb quality, this case was handcrafted in the 1930s or 1940s. The leather might be newer. This case has travelled through central and southeast Asia – through many hands. I found this case in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia in an antique shop. This is a stunning piece of art in its own right. For the Serious Collector.
