Antique Thai Hmong Silver Neck Ring or Collar
This is an unusual and massive silver neck ring from a tribal group from the mountain region of the golden triangle of Laos, Thailand and Burma. The ring is intended as a protective amulet preventing the spirit of the wearer from leaving her body. The neck ring is suspended from a custom iron frame allowing the neck ring to be the perfect decorative element in either a traditional or a minimalist mid-century design. It would also add focus to a Spanish or monastic aesthetic. (Additional information included in the attached paperwork from an early 21st century sale)
