Description

? A GOLD, PEARL, TURQUOISE, AND CORAL OFFICIAL'S EARRING, SOCHI, 19TH CENTURY

Eastern Tibet. The elongated earring with a clasped hoop, inlaid with turquoise between granulated gold beads, with a baroque pearl and coral bead at the midsection, terminating with a large pointed canine-form turquoise bead. The actual hook is made of brass.

Provenance: European private collection.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and manufacturing irregularities. Minor dents and minuscule losses. The inlays with natural imperfections, expected minor losses, and some possibly replaced.

Weight: 23.2 g
Dimensions: Height 8.9 cm

Such earrings, known as sochi, were worn singly in the left ear by Tibetan government ministers and officials as a symbol of rank. The design of the earrings tends to combine the sacred and the secular in a subtle way, seen in the present lot with lotus petal designs.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related eastern Tibetan earring, 15.2 cm long, dated to the 19th century, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 15.95.165.
