專家說明

Lot 88 would have been worn over a single long braid or plait. Derived from the Sanskrit word for cobra, a jadanagam is long and tapered and is often designed as an abstract representation of a hooded serpent. A popular motif for female jewelry, in Hinduism snakes are associated with fertility.
