Pashtun Brass Septum – Blue Beads
Pashtun Brass Septum – Blue Beads
Pashtun septum nose earrings handcrafted from brass and decorated with small blue beads. The form follows a traditional rosette-based layout typical for tribal jewelry from the Afghan–Pakistani border regions.
The blue elements are glass or synthetic beads commonly used in Pashtun jewelry as strong visual accents. Their purpose was decorative and symbolic rather than gemological, emphasizing contrast, rhythm, and tribal identity.
The diameter ranges approximately between 1.5 and 2 cm, placing these pieces among smaller septum ornaments while retaining a clearly defined presence. The construction remains three-dimensional, with visible layers, stamped metal textures, and hand-shaped details.
These septum earrings require a pierced nose. The wire is an original structural component. Each item is distinctive and one of a kind, with natural variations in bead placement, metal texture, and patina resulting from age and manual craftsmanship. Selection is made according to the numbering shown in the photographs.
