The Hmong are well known for their superior silversmith skills and unique designs. This neck band is of a tubular design and has been incised with a simple floral decoration at the centre of the band and a traditional bird design at the down-turned ends. This silver torque has received a light polish, and while there are very light scratches present, the overall condition is excellent. It has been mounted on a custom built stand for display.
