Hazara Long Bell Earrings

Long brass earrings rooted in the Hazara culture of Afghanistan. The design features a triangular upper section connected to a multi-segmented articulated panel, creating a strong, structured silhouette.

The lower part is decorated with rows of small multicolored glass beads and a dense fringe of brass bells. Movement produces a distinct metallic sound, traditionally associated with ceremonial and social symbolism.

These earrings are substantial and heavy, requiring ear tunnels or significantly stretched lobes. Their weight and length are integral to the original tribal aesthetic. Surface wear, patina, and minor irregularities reflect age and handcrafted production.

Thanks to the hook construction, they can also function as tikka – decorative elements attached to hair or headpieces. A rare collectible example of bold tribal jewelry with uncompromising character.
