Never seen one like it, but I would agree with Wayne. Tibetan side of the Chinese border.

I have one that is very similar that a friend collected from the North West of China in a region of the Tibetan plateau that is outside the former border of Tibet. While it is inside China itself, it is an area that strangely has fewer Han and recent Han Chinese influence than Tibet itself. I am seeing more and more pieces coming out of far eastern Tibet/far western China, so I suspect that modernization and development are now reaching the area. In the early to late nineties when I had friends traveling in the region, men still commonly carried swords at their sides.
