Vintage Small Hmong Silver Hill Tribe Earrings for Extended Ear Holes

Lovely vintage silver arrow earrings worn by the Yao and Lahu Hmong people. The earrings are worn with the tube going into the ear hole and the bent arrow is where the threading stops. The last photo shows a picture of this type of earring worn by a Hmong woman (credit). The earrings are made of high-grade silver and are in good vintage condition. The two earrings are slightly different. The Hmong people live in Thailand, China, and Vietnam.

The top of the arrow to the bottom of the earrings is 3 cm (1 1/4"). The diameter is 2.2 cm (7/8"). Weight is 11 g.
