Dayak ear weights in ear (Round)

Dayak ear weights. Rather heavy for daily use, but a rather good conversation starter.. I will normally wear a thin pair of clear silicone ear-tunnels with heavy weights and hangers, to distribute the weight on a larger surface area. This also stops my ears turning green, which is always a plus. Can't imagine how much care the dayak people have to take not to wreak their ears when wearing these daily. Wait, yes I can.
