Comments:See: http://tibet.prm.ox.ac.uk/ From the sash [of a monk] hung the traditional water bottle, reduced almost to a formality. From it the monk was supposed to rinse his mouth in the morning. It was a small metal vessel, entirely hidden in a larger rectangular textile bag, which, as in the Museum’s example, could be of native woollen cloth, but brightly brocaded cases were also used. Those of the ruling Yellow Church were yellow. [from: Zwalf, W 1981, Heritage of Tibet: 131-2.]
