Kooj Ntseg Xub

A pair of earrings from Luang Prabang province in Laos. This style of earrings were popular with Hmong people all across Laos and into Vietnam, but especially in northwest Laos, such as in Luang Prabang. They were also often sold to and worn by other ethnic minority groups such as the Red Dao. This specific pair has very fine engravings and are in amazing shape with a beautiful silver patina. 7.33 grams.
