Neck Ring2878/24

Neck ring, hollow cast silver, open on one side. One surface of the ring has a design etched into it and the other side is smooth. On either side of the opening the metal is bent back on itself, and the bent portion is in the shape of an elongated triangle with several protrusions around the outside edge. There are two lengths of silver chain link (made of thin silver wire) attached across the open side of the neck ring, one longer than the other so that it hangs below the other. At the centre of each length of chain is attached a separately cast silver “mithun” or “buffalo head” ornament.
