    I bought this trinket box years ago at a little flea market near my house. On the bottom of the trinket box was a written sticker that said Tibetan prayer box. This is a pretty little box That appears to be hammered brass. I'm assuming the stones are supposed to be coral but not sure if they actually are or not. I like it as a small decorative piece.

      Hi Mrstyndall, I thought this may be of interest to you.

      Peasejean55, thanks for the link. Do you know how old this might be and would you consider it a prayer box or just a trinket box?
