Made by the Naga, a collection of tribal ethnic groups in India with a similar culture including a headhunting tradition in its past, conch shell ear covers are worn by men and attached to pierced ears through a hole in the shell. They are usually decorated stippled abstract images of curved buffalo horns with the buffalo’s neck and head inside the V-shaped horns. Mounted on a lucite base, they are an interesting example of unique cultural art,.
