Very long size and made of silver and set with carnelian and red carved glass stones. Most likely from Ersari tribe, but not 100% sure. I believe these to be quite old. Early 20th century?

    Haha, thank you both for the very fast response. Yes, these are one of the best pieces in my small, but carefully accumulated collection.

    Very nice, Howah, I have similar. You are right, most likely Ersari since they do not use fire gilding as much as the other tribes.

    Very nice temple jewelry. A good buy! Good to see them from nearby too. Yes, I think it is Ersari.
