Tibetan Carved Bone Monk's Seal Stamp

This is a very old Tibetan monk seal that has been strung on a thick, braided rope with 14 small red stones.  This piece can easily be slipped over the hand to be used as a bracelet.  The seal is an intricately carved piece of bone that is surrounded by stamped metal casings.  The bottom part of the seal is square and measures 5/8 x 5/8 inches.  The seal itself measures 1 3/8 inch high.  This very unusual piece comes in a 5 inch x 4 1/2 inch black display box with a glass top.  The seal is dated from the late 1800's.  The bracelet is not dated, although it is probably at least 60-80 years old.
