Brooch. Trinket, used for holding either the 'surat-band', 'face-cover' or the 'chudda' or 'chador' (the all-enveloping black cloak worn by women). The gems have been removed and replaced with imitations. Teardrop-shaped, made of silver with a glass 'gem' in the centre and circular indentations round it where the original gems are missing.
