Pakistan Tribal Silver Shirt Ornament

Antique tribal jewellery right out of Pakistan's history. Hand made from very high grade silver, this piece was designed to ornament the front of a man's shirt. It consists of three panels joined together with heavy twisted silver, set with faceted glass "gemstones" typical of the region.

The piece is very wearable as a bracelet. The side panels sit stiffly but comfortably on the wrist. it can be enlarged to fit a larger wrist by adding a jump ring or short chain.

The entire piece shows wear markings consistent with its age (late 19th or early 20th century) and would be perfectly at home in a museum display case. Collected by Kashgar founder, Bernie Heaphy, on one of his earliest trips to the Swat Valley in Pakistan.
