Mixed lot (4 items), Tunisia, Central Asia: two very old pairs of different styles of earrings, made of silver. One pair flat in form, from Tunisia and the other pair from Central Asia, decorated with rosettes and underlaid with red glass.
1: Tunisia: a very old pair of earrings in a flat style, which harks back to Byzantine examples. The semicircular silver plate is decorated with three hemispheres, a rhombus and volutes made of silver wire. It has a semicircular attachment that is placed into the earlobes of the woman.
Height: each c. 7.5 cm; width: each c. 6 cm.
2: A second, old pair of silver earrings from Central Asia (Kazakhstan, North Afghanistan): crafted in the shape of rosettes, with some residual enamel. In the middle of each earring sits a round, red underlaid glass stone. Both pieces have three pendants below and above a hook made of silver wire to place into the earlobes of the woman.
Height: each c. 9 cm (with pendants).
Both pairs of earrings: Between the 19th and the early 20th centuries. (ME)
Provenance:
Viennese private collection.
