An Uzbek headband in a private Swiss collection which is attributed to a slightly later date is of very similar form, (Rachel Hasson, Later Islamic Jewellery, Jerusalem, 1987, No. 172, p. 121). While this is described as a headband, it has also been suggested that these were worn in pairs suspended on either side of the head connecting the temple to the ear. Our headband is very long which suggests it was worn as a single band across the forehead. A necklace exhibited at the L.A. Mayer Museum, with almost identical quatrefoil gold panels inset with hardstones and surrounded by a very similar seed pearl border, is attributed by Hasson to 19th Century Bukhara (Rachel Hasson, op.cit., Jerusalem, 1987, no. 150, p.109).
