An authentic pair of antique earrings from Afghanistan, handcrafted in approximately 800 fine silver. The earrings are shaped like crescents with inner star-shaped motifs that could symbolize protection, fertility, or a reference to the celestial forces so important in tribal beliefs.

The outer edges of the earrings are decorated with openwork circles—subtle yet expressive. The overall impression is light despite the massive form. The decorative elements are reminiscent of the style found in the Herat and Ghazni regions, where jewelry was passed down from generation to generation.

This type of jewelry could be worn during important ceremonies, holidays, or as a personal amulet. Its function went beyond mere ornamentation—it was an integral part of identity, protecting against the evil eye and symbolizing membership in a specific social group.

These earrings are a testament to a tradition that is fading with each passing year. This is a unique piece for collectors and enthusiasts of Central Asian culture – full of soul, history and unique character.
