Head Ornament 18th century This large ornament may have been originally used to adorn the head, as part of a necklace, or a hand jewel (hathphul). The central gemstone is a light green beryl, which was originally foiled on the backside to create a vibrant and deep green color. The foil has since deteriorated, leaving an uneven appearance in the center stone. Red, green and white enameling (meenakari) on the backside enhances the floral shape of this Head Ornament 446775
