Description
Stampless registered cover, struck with ornate seal of the KERONG COURT in Tibet, carried via runner to the Nepalese Post Office at Rasuwa, with manuscript c.d.s., and Trisuli, with partial hand-dated negative c.d.s., typical flaws and creases, a desirable routing and lovely example of this seal.
Under the Thapatail Treaty of 1855, Nepalese courts were established in the Tibetan towns of Khasa, Kuti, and Kurong, to handle legal cases involving Nepalese citizens. Mail from these courts was struck with the appropriate court seal, and carried with free-franking privileges by couriers to nearby Nepalese border towns.
