A digital archive showcasing the extensive collection of jewellery and adornment images shared on the former Ethnic Jewels Ning site over the years. These images have significantly enriched discussions on cultural adornment and its global dispersion.

Any ideas, please?

My first guess is that these old silver tassels may have formed part of a headdress ornament. I find particularly interesting the central bead in the shape of a cross.

Tassel are used as decorarion for human and animal! Mostly by Turkomen/Afghanistan.
Nowadays also in cars etc. I use it as decoration with a bag. But a tassel with a cross i have never seen . Very interesting!
