Antique Body Ornament Made of Himalayan Shells Secured to a Brass Buckle
About the Item
An antique body ornament from India, Nepal or Tibet, made of strands of old Himalayan shells secured to a brass circular buckle with pierced motifs. Embark on a cultural odyssey with this antique body ornament hailing from the mystic terrains of India, Nepal, or Tibet.
