  • bellisima!!

  • Very nice - I like that a lot..

  • Appears complete -- I have only seen the central part with the bobbles and coins, not the chains or leather at the bottom.

  • These headresses come from south western algeria oases of Saouara. yours seems pretty older than the regular ones (i have got a pair i should post) since it uses silver round discs rather that old silver ottoman coins

  • Beautiful, elegant piece. 

  • Excellent piece very nice chain work which is fine and detailed.  I love these .. I just packed mine and wore it this week.

  • Molto bello anche il tuo, Linda.

  • A lovely ornament, I love the coral in it!

  • nice piece, i like the beautiful coral on it. the coins have to be in silver and  9 pieces in each side the bells silver too

    the mix of the silver coins,bells,coral,chaines and kauri shells make it a ladies complet amulet for good luck,protection and fertility.

    to find from Hoggar until south marocco
