Physical Description
Description
Χαρχάλι, επίχρυσο περιλαίμιο με στοιχεία επηρεασμένα από τη διακοσμητική του μπαρόκ. Πρόκειται για κόσμημα της γυναικείας αστικής φορεσιάς των Ιωαννίνων. Αποτελείται από μια σειρά από μαλαμοκαπνισμένες χυτές πλάκες στολισμένες στο πάνω μέρος τους με μικρά πουλιά και διακοσμημένες με ποικιλόχρωμες γυάλινες πέτρες φερμένες από το εξωτερικό. Φέρει κρεμαστά χυτά διάτρητα στολίδια με αχάτες, κοράλια και πέτρες, που σκορπούν έντονες ανταύγειες πάνω στις επίχρυσες επιφάνειες.
