PK1009-420
An exquisite silver and glass Kuchi necklace from Afgahnistán. It features two silver plaques beautifully decorated with engraved decoration and glass cabochons. From those plaques hang nine rows of different length of silver and glass beads. A most elegant sample of tribal art. 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. Their jewellery is quite often very colourful using silver, glass and, in some fewer cases, enamel. Mid-XXth century.
