A silver gilt nose ring, featuring a large circular hoop, is adorned with intricate beadwork. At its peak, two white beads flank a central red stone. A multi-lobed ornament set with pearls and turquoise hangs inside. To our left, a leaf-shaped piece holds turquoise gems, while a floral motif and bell-shaped tassel with green beads sit to our right. Tiered rows of pearls and blue beads line the lower edge.
