FREE: Antique Tribal Kuchi Gillet Belly Dance Afghan Brass Ring Size 8

The listing, Antique Tribal Kuchi Gillet Belly Dance Afghan Brass Ring Size 8 has ended.

Digging into my treasure trove again. This is a ring I have owned over 20 years. I have, since childhood, had a love of old antique things. This was one of my first aquisitions at the tender age of 13. I was at a fleamarket and saw it mixed in with a bunch of odds and ends. I bought it for $5. That was of course like $100 to me at the time, but I didn't care. I was told later that it is a kuchi gillet ring made by nomads of the Kuchi tribe in Afghanistan. Gilet describes the mixture of alloys that went into making it, in this case mostly brass. I was told the tool lines and press marks date this ring at over 100 years old. I have not had this information authenticated, but it sounds good...lol.

The size is about an 8 but this is just a guess. And the top does not open, even though it looks like a poison ring.

I am more of a Native American collector as most of you know, so this piece just dosen't fit into my collection anymore, so to my Listia friends it goes!

I feel the GIN is insanely low, but I know the person that will truly cherish it, as I have, will act fast and make it thiers!

Good Luck!
