I agree with Mustafa, Betty. Beautiful and it looks so complete. Can you wear it?
Thank you Thelma and Mustafa!
Yes, I can wear it. It's actually quite comfortable to wear and looks great with a black silk blouse/top.
The bells are complete, but I reckon some have been replaced over time. The piece was acquired in Ethiopia earlier this year.
Lovely Muria Betty, good find, soft and well worn. Especially to be found this year, even the bells complete. Congratualtions. Gr. Ingrid.
Thank you, Ingrid. I am very happy about this find...Have pleasant week! Betty
Congratulations Betty! This is very beautiful and hard to find.
Thank you, Lynn. I was offered this piece at a very reasonable price and didn't hesitate a moment :-)
Just found a pic in A. Fisher's "African Ark" showing a lady from Harar town wearing a quite similar choker necklace I wanted to share with the Ethiopia enthusiasts ...
Beautiful Betty!! There is a pair of the earrings she is wearing on eBay right now.
