Description
'Gulak Tenecir' is the Turkic name for this wonderful pair of dropped earings.Made during the last quarter of the 19th century by Teke tribes in the Merv Oasis, these earings were worn by young girls and women in the tribe. Each earing has one table-cut carnelian on gilded and part-gilded silver.
Sadly, one of the chain pendants is missing but I keep an eye open for a spare which will come along eventually.
Size: 12cm (5") drop including chains x 5cm (2") wide.
Viewing by appointment only.
