[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3045082, member: 2844"]They are genuine artifacts made recently. Probably in Afghanistan or neighbouring countries. They are traditional there, and they are very nice, but nothing to do with the jewellery you say you are looking for. I notice a lot of traditional Afghan jewellery is being sold as (Post-)Medieval or dating from Antiquity. I don't think the Afghans know that, to them it is traditional. Also, a lot of recent Central Asian bird and horse themed jewellery is now sold as genuine Viking.:wideyed: Yep, today is post-Medieval, I just checked.:playful: Ditto. And preferably learn more about jewellery.;) You are here now, so you can ask us before you buy.:)[/QUOTE]
