From Northern Laos, this exceptional antique silver hairpin was made by the Hmong in the mountains of Northern Laos. The hairpin features beautiful engraved and filigree decoration. The hairpin is hollow and it is said that in times past, Hmong women would keep a little opium stored in the hairpin.
Due to its age there are obvious signs of wear but otherwise in excellent condition.
