The 'Dombo' is a traditional flask that Mongolians have used since ancient times. It is adorned with four rows of intricate "zee bad" patterns and features a striking "zee bad head" motif on the spout. This flask also boasts an elegant incised spiral pattern on the handle. The exquisite dombo is crafted from a lustrous metal alloy and showcases intricate chasing, repoussé, and engraving techniques.
