This vertical, long, narrow dress ornament from India is made predominantly of overlapping, gold-colored, crescent-shaped metal pieces with small, green glass beads on the outside points of each crescent and a row of beads at the top of the ornament. A thick, compact black a cotton tassel hangs from a rounded metal cap at the bottom. The two topmost metal pieces are not crescent shaped, rather the highest is at least three times longer than the crescents and has rounded outside contours. This piece is decorated with low relief figures of a man in the center under an overhanging canopy studded with beads and long, loosely coiled snakes at each side. The second piece has two horizontal oblong shapes each with beads on the outer edge. Thereafter the overlapping crescent shapes begin, although the first in the a series of 18 crescents is squared on the upper border rather than rounded as are the others. All crescents are ornamented by low relief, indistinct circular and geometric designs.
