A low-cost modern copy of the Tibetan saddle ring, a type named after its resemblance to the high-shouldered Tibetan saddle. This piece forms one element in a range of traditional jewellery types that are being made on the spot in Yushu market (Sichuan) using mass- produced kaolin moulds produced in Chengdu.
