Many thanks to this kind lady for allowing me to photograph the ear ornament. This is how it is worn.
I am told that this piece is collectively owned by her family. There is a small ornamental chain attached to the piece to emphasize the movement of the wearer.
This is very interesting, Edith. I've been trying to understand how it can be firmly fixed on the ear.. which must be necessary if it is used by dancers. Beautiful in itself but even more so when used with an earring like this.
Lovely Edith! I am pretty sure that traditionnally there is a crown/headdress accompanying this accessory. Either this ear ornamenet was part of the headdress and went loose or it was attached to it or tightned firmly at his place by the weight of headdress!
