RARE & GORGEOUS PAIR OF NAGA BEADED HIP ORNAMENTS
Item Code: AI494N
Origin:
Description: Here's a lavish and stunning pair of 19th century trade bead and dyed goat hair hip ornaments in superb condition. They are presented on a custom Amyas Naegele art display base and look even older and better than the photos communicate. They feature fourteen pendant plumes which are each bound with fine red and yellow fiber (maybe Orchid fiber?). The muli-color beads are very early and include Italian "white hearts". These are quality "old world" Naga craftsmanship at its best and are arguably the most beautiful objects of personal adornment ever produced by this culture. Note: The images of them are over exposed making them appear newer than they are.
