Silver brooch with coral and turquoise stones in Tibetan style
History
This piece represents traditional Tibetan jewelry craftsmanship, likely dating from the mid to late 20th century. The combination of coral and turquoise stones set in silver is characteristic of Himalayan decorative arts, particularly from Tibet and Nepal. Such jewelry pieces are highly valued by collectors of ethnic and tribal jewelry for their cultural significance and distinctive aesthetic. The combination of turquoise (representing the sky) and coral (representing blood or life force) holds spiritual importance in Tibetan Buddhism, making these pieces particularly appealing to those interested in Buddhist artifacts and Himalayan cultural items.
