Kurta is an Indian upper garment, this piece is an accessory that is worn on the Kurta at the neckline. The back has studs that fit into button holes to be worn. Is unmark but tests for sterling silver. The handwork is amazing on this, very fine and of a beautiful design made for special occasions. Measures 9-1/2" long, 7/8" wide. There is 3-1/2" between each button stud and it weighs 22.3 grams. Fabulous and quite unique!
