TRIBAL CROWN-SHAPED SILVER ALLOY RING – WORN BY LAHU, LISU, AKHA AND WA/LAWA PEOPLES FROM THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE

THIS ORIGINAL CROWN-SHAPED RING IS HANDCRAFTED FROM SILVER ALLOY (SCRATCH TESTED), AND TRADITIONALLY WORN BY THE LAHU, LISU, AND WA (LAWA) TRIBAL GROUPS OF SOUTHEAST ASIA.

USED BOTH AS A FINGER RING AND A DECORATIVE ORNAMENT FOR TURBANS AND BELTS, ITS ICONIC FORM FEATURES:

– A CENTRAL DOMED CROWN WITH RADIATING PETAL ENGRAVINGS
– BOLD GRANULATED KNOBS AND FLORAL SIDE WINGS
– A ROUNDED, WIRE-TEXTURED BAND ECHOING TRADITIONAL METALWORK METHODS

THIS MULTI-FUNCTIONAL ORNAMENT REFLECTS THE DEEP SYMBOLIC AESTHETICS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP OF UPLAND ETHNIC GROUPS INHABITING THE BORDER REGIONS OF NORTHERN THAILAND, MYANMAR (BURMA), LAOS, AND YUNNAN PROVINCE (CHINA).

ESTIMATED TO BE MID-20TH CENTURY, IT CARRIES THE AUTHENTIC WEAR AND PATINA OF TRADITIONAL USE WHILE RETAINING ITS CEREMONIAL ELEGANCE.
