content: A BRASS HOOP EARRING WITH A SMALLER TURQUOISE STONE ON ONE END AND A LARGER TURQUOISE STONE ON THE SIDE. THIS TYPE OF EARRING, ACCORDING TO THE COLLECTOR, IS WORN BY THE POORER MEN OF TIBET IN THEIR LEFT EAR, AND IN THE RIGHT EAR, A THREADED TURQUOISE OR CORAL BEAD. A SIMILAR DESIGNED EARRING MAYBE WORN BY THE WEALTHIER LAYMAN, BUT THE EARRING WOULD BE OF GOLD AND A HIGHER GRADE OF TURQUOISE.
