Delicious. Can we see the backs too please?

Hi, I these are most likely end 19th century/early 20th century. These were sewn on headdresses and forehead bands amongst others. Pls see next photo of mine of a Mongolian forehead band for an example of the application.

The back is plain silver with no marks or decoration.

Great to see, Howah! Thanks for posting, and I think you did the right thing in opting for these. You are not going to regret that choice, I feel quite sure.
