Pashtun Nose Earrings – 19th Century
Pashtun Nose Earrings – 19th Century
Pashtun nose earrings dating back to the 19th century, originating from present-day Afghanistan and the Pakistani border regions. This type of jewelry was traditionally worn by Pashtun women as an important cultural and decorative element.
The earrings are made of brass – a copper and zinc alloy commonly used in Middle Eastern tribal craftsmanship during the 19th century. The central decoration consists of blue beads made of glass or synthetic material, typical for the period and region. These are not natural stones but traditional ornamental components.
Despite clear stylistic similarities, each piece differs in details such as rosette shape, ornament arrangement, embossing depth, serrated edges, and natural metal patina. These are handmade, non-serial objects showing authentic signs of age and use.
The offer applies to a single piece. Customers select a specific earring by the number shown in the photo. Designed to be worn in a pierced nasal septum. All items remain in original condition, without modern restoration.
