Title: Brass, Silver Earrings
Description: The Dayak Tribe of Borneo is famous for brass earrings cast by the lost wax process. These are so desirable that they have been copied by the two-part molding process. This lot has a pair of rather roughly-cast replicas of Dayak earrings, plus a pair of seemingly authentic earrings of spinning top shape. Also included is a pair of genuine silver Hill tribe earrings from Indonesia. The brass earrings are illustrated in the NNP edition, https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/541824?page=210 (misattributed), while the pair of silver earrings is shown on p. 211, top right.
