Only mentioned in Isa. 3:21, although refered to in Gen.
24:47,
Prov. 11:22, Hos. 2:13. They were among the most
valued of
ancient female ornaments. They "were made of ivory or
metal, and
occasionally jewelled. They were more than an inch in
diameter,
and hung upon the mouth. Eliezer gave one to Rebekah
which was
of gold and weighed half a shekel...At the present day
the women
in the country and in the desert wear these ornaments
in one of
the sides of the nostrils, which droop like the ears
in
consequence."
