Afghanistan Ethnic Silver Wedding Necklace

Spectacular necklace probably of tribal origin, belonging to the traditional crafts of nomadic peoples such as the Kushis or Pashtuns. It is mainly composed of low-grade silver plates, worked with relief patterns and filigree ornaments. • Structure: The main part of the necklace is a large fan-shaped metal plate, richly decorated, with floral and geometric motifs. The ends bear finely chiseled circular medallions. All the elements are fixed on wooden plates and connected together by an iron rod, which allows the necklace to maintain great flexibility of movement during dances, for example. • Tassels and charms: Several small metal pendants in the shape of drops and plates are suspended, creating a characteristic sound effect when worn. • Central ornament: A more ornate part superimposed on the center, with a red floral decoration, which could be in colored glass. • Fastening: The necklace is fixed by a green velvet fabric, rolled and knotted, adding a touch of comfort and style.
