Notlar	Pair of silver and gilded Teke tribal earrings from Afghanistan or Turkmenistan
Tarihsel bağlam	It was assumed by Dr Ganguly that this these ornaments were earrings but as Wolf-Dieter Seiwert asserts, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between Teke jewellery worn as ear jewellery or as temple ornaments, largely distinguishable owing to weight and length. Teke jewellery is worn as a prophylactic against evil spirits. Triangles pointing upwards invoke the 'World Mountain' invoking blessings from Heaven. Cornelians symbolize female fecundity.
Malzemeler ve teknikler	Silver, fire-gilding, cornelian. Fire-gilding is typical of Teke tribal jewellery. Fire-gilding is applied to silver surfaces some of which may have been engraved in outline. An amalgam of gold dust mixed with mercury is applied with a brush and then heated, during which process the mercury evaporates leaving the gold bonded onto the silver ground.
