The surfaces have worn smooth from use, and in a couple of places, small holes have appeared where the silver has worn through at the extremity.

The patina of the silver is very lovely.Characteristics Width: 9.6cm, 3.8 in Height: 4.5cm, 1.8 in Weight: 140g / 5oz Period: 19th Century Material: solid high-grade silverRead about the Hmong Read post Antique Hill Tribe Jewelry View Laos Photo Gallery
