Iranian Kurdish Head Ornament

Posted by Lynn Ardent on April 19, 2016 at 2:51am

This is a forehead or turban ornament, likely from Iranian Kurdistan. With a band of interlocking flattened links, from which are suspended many coins. The coins are 1950s Iranian 1 Rials. Jean-Marie has recently posted a photo of a woman modeling a similar ornament strung across a turban.Dimensions:101 grams36 cm long

Hello Lynn, just take a look at mine piece. It is very similar: the chain and the coins.

Best wishes

I love it Dagmara, they are twins! Do you collect Iranian or Kurdish jewelry?
