Afghanistan-Pakistan Pendants.


Gilded silver and blue glass ear PENDANTS. They originate from the Islamic people of the Katawaz basin along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Length: about 13,5cm. Date: 19th century. These pendants, being too heavy to be suspended from the ears, were worn from the hair and headdress adjacent to the ears. Posted by Michael Beste on "rugrabbit" (presented on Facebook)
