Traditional Dayak
earweight replicas
Modern reproductions of
traditional bronze Dayak
earweights, made in
Borneo. Not as heavy or
well crafted as the older
versions, but more
affordable. I sort
through these and set
aside the really rough
pairs to refinish and
polish so that they are
wearable. These, however
are a few dollars more to
cover time and materials.
For more information on
these styles of earweights
see the books, A World of
Earrings by Anne vann
Cutsem, Sarawak Style by
Luca Invernizzi Tettoni and
Eric Ong, Ethnic
Jewellery From Africa,
Asia and Pacific Islands
the Pepin Press, Power
and Gold by
Prestel-Verlag, The
Splendor of Ethnic
Jewelry by Borel-Taylor,
and Jewelry of Southeast
Asia by Anne Richter.
