Portable Tibetan Silver Alter Box or Shrine

Unavailable
2" high portable Tibetan Buddhist Shrine. Looking out of the window is a Buddha. The bronze based shrine is adorned with silver filigree with turquoise colored and red coral colored stones. There are loops on either side so it can be attached to a belt or chain to be worn around the neck. The back can be removed. The Buddha is of carved stone and moves around freely. It looks as if it was attached but has come unglued There is some additional room for other offerings to be place inside.

The condition is good. I do not know the age. The Buddha can easily be re-attached to the back wall of the box if that is what is desired. The condition is good. There some area were the silver has worn down to reveal the bronze base. There is tarnish here and there. Then I have already mention the Buddha that is no longer attached.
