Earrings

Description
A pair of large (about 9 cm. long) but delicately worked silver earrings.

Each earring consists of a filigree top between a hoop and dangling chains. The end of the hoop is not soldered but bent backward double curve, which is flexible enough for one to slip through the hole of the ear. The filigree top is made of delibrate and intricate ornamental wire work. It is shaped like a rounded top of a pagoda; 15 pendants are connected to the base of the filigree pagoda. Each pendant consists of linked small rings with one or two hollow cones at the end.

Made by Loge Nyuppu, born 1965, Meigu County. Loge, his family name, means "Smith".

"Mountain Patterns" by Stevan Harrell, Bamo Qubumo, and Ma Erzi. 2000. Fig 5.12, pg 42.
