This is a particularly sought after design from the various antique tribal silver earrings made by hill tribe groups in Southeast Asia. They are from a Hmong village in the mountains of Northern Laos and are made from solid high grade silver formed into an open circle with a decorated arrowhead shape. They are worn by both the Hmong and Yao as a protective amulet; the arrow pointing up to ensure a favorable flow of universal forces.
