Beaded Ornaments

An interesting ornament is an earring-necklace [Casal's "earring-pendant"] like the one worn by Swani Godwino, Ramon's sister. It is attached with plugs to both ears and fits under the chin. Between the plugs is a string of glass seed beads with dangling chains of woven horse (mane) hair rings and brass wire rings. [I have catalogued some of these with plugs of ivory and apparently hornbill ivory.] The tiny woven horsehair rings show much patience and skill in making. |
