Filigree Engraved Silver Floral Earrings 4994

DETAILS

Sümer Telkari works this pair of earrings in Midyat, a Mardin town whose silver trade goes back many generations. Telkâri, meaning filigree, gives the piece its openwork: fine silver threads curled and joined one by one. Floral shapes organise the surface, a staple of the local repertoire. The workshop's own site carries the remaining specifications.
