Chuckmuck
A chuckmuck is a belt-hung leather and metal tinder pouch. It is a distinct design of a flint-and-steel fire-lighting kit. It is also used as ethnic jewellery amongst Tibetans and Mongolians.
==Description==
The chuckmuck is constructed from a stiff leather purse with a thick curved steel striker attached by rivets to its base. The sides and flap of the purse are either sewn or fixed by ornamental metal plates or small plaques. Inside are kept a piece of flint and a little tinder (pulped woody material such as plant roots). On the top fold a thin metal plate with 1 - 3 small hooks allows the pouch to be hung from the belt with a chuckmuck strap: a chain, leather thong or embroidered cloth.
Chuckmucks vary in size and decoration, with the circular boss in the centre of the flap, which operates as a hook to keep the purse closed, sometimes being decorated by a semi-precious stone such as coral or turquoise. Other decorations on the mounts are in silver, brass or iron with geometric patterns, floral designs, Tibetan motifs, or in the animal style.〔J.N.Roerich 1930 'the animal style among the nomad tribes of Northern Tibet'〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Vincent Bellezza: Thogchags, Ancient Amulets of Tibet )〕 The steel striker is occasionally engraved: with two dragons or Chinese characters. The University of Washington database contains a collection of fire steels including early chuckmucks on plates 45-48 from several countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Steel plate images )〕
The chuckmuck is hung from the belt in both Mongolian and Tibetan traditional dress for men and women. For this reason it is sometimes described as a Chatelaine (chain) with strap ornaments similar to the British museum example.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=British Museum - Collection search: You searched for )〕 It is sometimes accompanied by a 'chuckmuck purse' as a jewellery set〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bradley Rowe )〕 in exactly the same style only lacking the curved steel striker.
