Afghan Kuchi Fish Set
Each element has an elongated, fish-like shape, with an embossed surface, subtle reliefs, and simple ornamentation. Thanks to the handles on both sides, they can be combined into flexible rows, tassels, necklaces, bracelets, belt ornaments, or decorations inspired by ancient Afghan jewelry.
The brass has a warm, aged tone with visible patina, darker areas, and natural signs of wear. The surface isn't perfect or factory-reproduced, which in this case works to the product's advantage. The set looks like a collection of genuinely handcrafted antique pieces, rather than new accessories feigning age.
The fish motif appears in many traditions as a symbol of life, movement, fertility, and protection, but here the most important thing is the form itself: slightly archaic, decorative, and very suitable for jewelry work. The elements are small, but the embossing and double handles offer many compositional possibilities.
The set can be used as a base for handmade projects or as a collector's set of vintage Afghan Kuchi pieces. The fish are perfect for projects that require rhythm, repetition, and movement—especially tassels, necklaces, earrings, bag ornaments, and tribal clothing.
This offer is for one set as shown in the photo. Individual pieces may vary in shade, patina, and embossing details due to their age and handmade nature.
