A superb example of an old Pashtoon silver and glass necklace. This piece in an oustanding example of jewellery from that ethnic group. It is made of silver and glass cabochons, some of them faceted. Great workmanship, patina and piece. Certainly the real thing and not a modern version. Some of its features point out to the mainly Afghan nomadic group of the Kuchi people but the use of faceted glass takes us to the Pashtoon tribes of the Swat Valley in Pakistan. Early XXth century.

The Kuchi people, from the Persian -koch- meaning migration, are Afghan pashtoons nomads divided in a number of tribes that inhabit areas of Afghanistan and, to a lesser extent, Pakistan.
