Cool!!! Someone could have told me this was from Djerba and I would totally believe them! How old is it? Thanks for posting this!
surprising, it looks like a Fibulae from North Africa!
it's about 100 years old. Very small, only 6 cm long
I could be wrong about it's origin since it is unmarked and bought without information on previous owners, but a lot of jewellery with this type of ornamentation was made in Sweden.
