Looks like "our" chatelaine made an appearance on another Tibetan weapon! This Bonham's auction closed yesterday. When the catalog came out, I emailed the specialist about the item. It seems like there were no takers.

I too saw it Dennee, I think this was the third time I've seen it now.

Third time for me too, but I was surprised to see it switched onto another weapon.

I almost bought the piece for the chatelaine and not the sword.

Seeing the quality I nearly did the same, it a beautiful piece of displayable art in itself much like almost anything in silver from the regions of Tibet and Bhutan.
