Hmong (Meo) & Mien Hill Tribes 2-Piece silver Multi-Tiered "Neck Ring Money" ND XF, Mitch-Unl., cf. Opitz-pg. 285 (for single piece). Smaller ring: 126mm. 213.05gm. Larger ring: 125mm. 251.84gm. Both rings appear to be hollow. A set of two rings that was clearly intended to be joined and worn together, as indicated by their similarity in design and lining up of the loops, though the original clasp has since been lost. Pleasantly free of any notable dings or dents and an engaging form of non-coined money.
