Antique Hand Carved Wooden "Tongal" Sumba Indonesia Mans Traveling Wooden Wallet Box Very neat unique artifact from the Sumba Islands in Indonesia. This is considered a man's "Tongal" carrying bag for when they were traveling, a place to store necessities such as tobacco and money. This is hand carved and probably used at some point, not just for decorative purposes. Beautifully carved, and still functions. By moving the bead up the rope, you create slack in the line to open the lid of the bag. The space on the inside has a small crack.
