Pair (2) of Tapamoños Tembleques White Beaded Flower Pearl Panama Hair Pin

Handmade white pearl tembleque beaded flowers on traditional pins. Tembleques are traditional Panamanian accessories used with folkloric dresses (la poll era).

These tembleques are made by making traditional beaded flower tembleques and mounting them on a traditional pin. Materials used include white pearls and iridescent beads (tornado).

They are all fixed to the same pin. This piece is called Matamoros, and it is normally used to cover the hair buns of the empolleradas (poll era-wearing ladies).

When you purchase this item you get two (2) separate Matamoros that are identical to each other.
