Torkwes Vintage - necklace

Old, round, open brass torkwes necklace (torc) with delicately sounding bells. The necklace is additionally decorated with colorful glasses, which are typical in the region of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The distance between the ends of the necklace is 6 cm. They are put on the neck by first bending these 2 ends to the sides. Similar torques were worn already in the Iron Age by Celts, Scythians and Persians.
