The Art of Chinese Adornment: Jewellery & Accessories

A hair comb from the Miao tribes of southwestern China, made of a silver-copper alloy with hand-harvested engravings skillfully chiselled by hand. Unfortunately it has a restored tooth, though that does not detract from the beauty of the piece as a whole.

Peineta de las tribus Miao del suroeste de China, en aleación de plata y cobre con grabados cincelados hábilmente a mano. Lamentablemente tiene una púa restaurada, aunque no le resta belleza del conjunto.
