This series of images are ear ornaments of the #Nandi people, which community was originally known as the Chemwal.

The first one here, the Kimeiteitiot, was an old man’s earring.
This second one, the chepolungut, was an ear ornament worn by warriors from the community.
Pictured here, the engosholaiit was worn by men in the upper part of the ear.
Then we have these two, taok, worn by married women.
Finally, we have the Kipalpaliot, which was worn by young boys.
Pardon any spelling mistakes.
