Yao Bent Arrow Tribal Silver Earrings

These classic tribal earrings are called Bent Arrow and are worn pushed sideways through the ear by Yao (Mien) and Hmong tribal women. High grade silver, they are immensely collectable, but can only be worn with an extended piercing. Alternatively, they make beautiful pendants.

These three pairs were bought by us from a old Yao lady in her village on the Burmese-Thai border over 30 years ago. They are genuine vintage pieces, not recent reproductions.
