Large Dangly Vintage Kuchi Tribal Jewelry Choker
This vintage Afghan tribal
choker was handcrafted during the mid-1900's for the nomadic Kuchi tribe of
Central Asia.
It is an old tribal jewelry
necklace - not a new reproduction.
MEASUREMENTS (1 inch = 2.54 cm)
Length = Adjustable with ties
Front Drop = 4-1/4 inches (distance between the top and bottom of the necklace at center front)
Weight = 8.3 oz
Width = 12 inches across beaded portion
Shipping Weight = 14 oz
Material = Metal; Glass beads; Cording
The wide neckband was generously studded with colorful beads that span its entire width, including 3 clusters of teardrop beads.
An elaborate fringe of long dangles with old coins, charms, and bells hangs below, clattering noisily together with
movement.
Ties were more recently added on the ends for adjusting the
length (tied at 14-1/2 inches on manikin).
There are mild wear-patterns and a warm age-patina remaining after so many years.
