This looks like a fibula from the Kabyle in Algeria. They embellish both sides of their pieces. I think it would be mid twentieth century although I am not good at dating and perhaps someone else would have more accurate input. I particularly like the embellishment on the backs of these pieces. If you want to see more Kabyle pieces just use our search function, there is a lot to see.
