It is difficult to say definitely in every case of what this ornament could have been composed, but in one instance it seems to consist of a number of metal rings fastened together by vertical supports. This custom of wearing stiff neck ornaments still exists in some parts of Africa and in Eastern India. - [Previous: c7.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c7.4) - [Next: c7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c7.6) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c7.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c7.5) · Pramāṇa
