Hanger with feather carved from bone

Ear gauges are a well-known phenomenon since ancient times. If you take a look at history books, you will find thousands of pictures of busts and portraits of people with large ear gauges. 

In those times, they didn't have the resources we have now, that's why they didn't have jewelry in materials such as surgical steel. However, they used natural materials, such as animal bones and horns. That's the case with this piece carved in bone. 

It should be noted that these are collected pieces of animals that die from natural causes. This one, in particular, is carved in the bone of a water buffalo's leg. 

This hanger is a piece of jewelry that you should use once you have reached the desired size for your ear gauge - you need tools to stretch them. This hanger is hand-carved by a master craftsman, and as you can see in the picture, it's an exquisite quality piece of jewelry. It has a spiral shape from which beautiful feathers hang, made in a single bone piece, and carved on both sides. That means that you can use this hanger in either the left or the right ear. 

If you like this unique hanger and you want to pamper your ear gauges, you know what to do. ;)
