  • fascinating pieces of many kinds!

  • Yamut asyk
  • Thank you, both of you.

    I realise now that I have seen many of these types of Yomud components but often on their own as pendants or made into rings etc. I really treasure the asyk because someone else obviously did. Worn gilt silver always seems to me to have an aethereal quality to it. These pieces would have been mercury guilded.
