Sumptuous display, especially love the louha with the scimitars.
I love that big luha at the bottom!
I confirm, hands and luhas were of exceptional size and diversity and some were one of a kind, original and never documented.....recently i had access to some wonderful private khamsas's collection and none were to match the diversity and scarcity on offer at this auction.
Whoever bought these, is for sure to become among top khamsas collectors worldwide!
Sarah and i stressed on that unusualpendant to the right and also the one to the left which bears......seven distinct fingers!!
nice photos and dokumented feeling. i actualy jalouse you. it was for sure a great day.
you were there and saw thus beatiful pieces. just a question, have you got a little of doubt in some ?? a second where you were not sure what to think about a piece.
throw fotos, i can have some little of insurance regarding some pieces.
i hope i m wrong
I had the chance to have most of this in my hands.
Many have hallmarks and most have worn bails!!
I doubt any is forged or copied, they are first class antique hands
The most striking feature whoch does not show on the picture is that they are really very large!!
