Antique Asian Thailand akha other Tribal Sterling Silver chest ornament plate
You are bidding on a rare antique ethnic tribal solid silver chest plate with copper straps on the back. The piece measures approximately 5.125 inches in diameter. It is unmarked as expected but test for approximately 80% on the spectrometer. The piece closely resembles the chest plates worn by the Asha women of Thailand. It was a prized symbol of status within the tribe. On the backside, one can find some copper bands to help adorn the piece. There is a crack in one of the bands from age but otherwise excellent condition with no visible damage to the silver plate. Nice collectors piece. Email me with questions. Good luck.
