Fulani Hammered Brass Earrings

The Fulani people of Mali traditionally wore their riches in adornments they could carry at all times. Beautiful gold earrings of this style ranged in sizes, the most elaborate demonstrating great wealth and requiring yarn to be wrapped around the hooks to alleviate the weight of the gold.

 This modern adaptation on the traditional design features hammered brass, which makes the earring far more lightweight and affordable without sacrificing the traditional aesthetic.

Because this is a handmade item, each may very slightly.
