SILVER PIERCED EARRINGS
FORM OF A TUMI
THE TUMI IS A CUTTING TOOL ASSOCIATED WITH MESOAMERICAN CULTURES, ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLES OF PERU.  TUMIS WERE MADE OF VARIOUS MATERIALS AND USED FOR EVERYTHING FROM KITCHEN WORK TO RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES.
A TUMI IS THE NATIONAL SYMBOL OF PERU WHERE THESE
WERE PURCHASED AT A MARKET.
THESE ARE SILVER IN COLOR WITH TYPICAL TARNISHING.
HOWEVER, THERE IS NO MARK FOR SILVER CONTENT, AND WE DID NOT TEST THEM.
WE CAN NOT GUARANTEE METAL CONTENT.
THERE'S A SMALL SEMICIRCULAR INSET OF ONYX? ABOVE THE ROUNDED "CUTTING" EDGES.
THEY APPEAR TO BE MOLDED AS THE IMAGES ARE PRETTY IDENTICAL.
SEE LAST PIC FOR APPROXIMATE SIZE.
APPROX TOTAL GROSS WEIGHT = 1.5 GRAMS.
THE WHITE CIRCLES (FIRST & LAST PICS)
ARE HOLES
IN THE
BLACK HOLDERS.
NO BACKS ARE INCLUDED.
