MD0214-037
A nice pair of Kuchi old silver earrings from Afghanistan. The dome shape of these earrings is a classic design in the area and the translation of its local name is -birdcages-. The rosettes show a very refined work which is higlighted by the central cabochon. The Kuchi people, from the Persian -koch- meaning migration, are Afghan pashtoons nomads divided in a number of tribes that inhabit areas of Afghanistan and, to a lesser extent, Pakistan. Their jewellery is quite often very colourful using silver, glass and, in some fewer cases, enamel.
