WOW, very nice. What kind of symbol is this? Peter
Thank you Peter, this one is from the Batak people, Sumatra . Usually worn as an earing on it's own but can be seen worn as pendants and as pairs of earrings. From what I have been told they like copper alloys so many of the earrings from this area are bronze. It's a fertility symbol.
