  • Rare Hmong Tribal Silver Earring

    Hmong silver crescent earring. Burma/Thailand. Early 20th century or earlier. High grade silver. This rare early example of a Hmong earring features a plump crescent shaped body tapering into two small, outward-curled terminals. It has visible surface wear and pitting, commensurate with its age.

    The earring was collected along with several others over 40 years ago by Bernard Heaphy, founder of Kashgar.

    This rare style of earring is attributed to the Hmong people and is refereced in A World Of Earrings, Anne Van Cutsem, 2001, Skira Editore, Milano. See page 334.
