A unique pair of antique earrings from Afghanistan, crafted by artisans from the Kuchi tribe. Crafted from silver using a casting technique, they show visible signs of wear and are covered with a natural patina and stains, testifying to their age and authenticity.
The dominant accent is the red glass beads set in the centers of the ornament. Their intense color stands out against the matte, dark metal. These adornments were worn not only as jewelry but also as amulets to protect the wearer from evil and misfortune.
The openwork, crescent-shaped shape of the earrings, adorned with spiral motifs and silver rivets, evokes ancient nomadic patterns. Despite numerous traces of oxidation and corrosion, the form remains intact, making these earrings a perfect artifact of the culture of pastoral communities.
This jewelry is for the collector who seeks more than decoration – it is a piece of history, a testament to handcrafted craftsmanship, and a symbol of an ancient world where every detail mattered. The unique form and natural deterioration make these earrings a rare piece with soul.
