<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tr><td><em> </em></td></tr><tr> <td width="100%"> Two antique nose / earrings. Sold to me as originating from Bukhara, Uzbekistan, but possibly made Turkoman or North African (Morocco, Tunisia etc). <BR>Sold to me as a pair, these are similar, but not identical.<BR>One is slightly larger, thicker and heavier than the other. The design of the inset stones/glass is largely pear shaped, while the smaller one has only round 'stones'. Each ring is adorned with many tiny bells. <BR>The rings are made of silver coloured metal (not silver). One has the original loop for passing through the nose/ear, while this has been replaced with a very old string in the other.<BR>These are guarranteed original old ethnic pieces and not modern reproductions.<BR><BR>An email from MS. Balzer reads "this earrings are made by the Kuchi people from afganistan. They are old, nice quality.".<BR>thank you. </td></tr><tr> <td> </td></tr><tr> <td>Reference #: 1701</td></tr><tr><td>Condition:See Description</td></tr><tr><td>Year:See Description</td></tr><tr><td>Title:ANTIQUE ETHNIC JEWELRY BUKHARA NOSE EARRINGS</td></tr><tr><td>Location:Boca Raton</td></tr></table>
