Oromo (Borana) Earrings

Posted by Eva Baby on March 14, 2013 at 11:45am

from Ethiopia. As you can see, they are not a match, although almost the same size. I got the one at left first (with a reddish silver mix) and found the one at right later (thanks to a Frankie Carter) which is more silver or alu mix, I do not know. Both are used and rather old. Both had originally 5 dangles on each side, the right one has only 3 (2 are missing). Will add another pic where one earring is open. I had shown the reddish one before as a single.
