Antique Miao Ethnic Minority Neck Band or Collar

Offered by: MJH Design Arts

Description
This an impressive large early 20th century silver collar or neck band in the traditional Miao/Hmong Tribal tradition. The collar is composed of three individual but complementary bands, each designed in an abstract geometric pattern. The collars are mounted on a custom Steel stand. All three collars are in excellent overall condition; no faults have been noted. The Miao are an ethnic minority and are located principally at the intersection of northern Thailand, Laos, Myanmar and China. Silver is highly prized by the Miao who gift silver to their daughters beginning at birth.
**We have had the collar authenticated and appraised by Honeychurch Antiques; the collar appraises for approximately $4,000.
