Shamalong is a herding village in Lhagong county in the Garze Tibetan Autonomous Region in western Sichuan province, China. This traditional sewing kit is made of hand-treated yak leather, and can be worn dangling at the waist or hung in a convenient place. Thread or yarn is kept in the smaller pocket, and needles kept in the longer one. It is made by nomadic herder artisans.
