Afghan Treasures

These beautiful tribal vintage necklaces are special to the Afghan culture, specifically to the Kuchi ‘nomad’ people.

One (right) features a perfume/oil pendant made of high-grade silver and embellished with agate stones designed to hold one’s most prized fragrance to accompany them in their days. The other (left) has a prayer box often used to secrete spiritual writings. Ornate charm-dangles hang below, clattering together with movement to alert admirers and scare away negative forces.
