An exceptional ceremonial tibetan saddle dating from the end of the 19th century in wood, trimmings, silver and gildings. This saddle is decorated with a motive representing mythical animals (dragons, birds, very sophisticated floral motifs) ... They certainly mark a Chinese influence! ... This saddle was diverted from its primary use and served as a seat on the ground for an old Afghan merchant in Kabul! ... Its weight is between 7 and 8 Kg.
