A couple of years ago i was offered a huge mask-pendant strung on a chain, i wondered where it was from and i suspected some south asian place....So these are temple jewels?
Makes sense now!
Either used on a statue or worn by a priest. I have had one with coins that was incredible, sold that unfortunately had to give it up but it had all early coins on it. i never saw another one like this but i have a Tibetan one that was used on a statue which is bronze and painted, very early. This had two more heads on it which i have and all the parts, i had to make is shorter as it was not the right length on. If you noticed the two leaves on one side , should be another head and as well in the back right should be another one also.
