  • nice collection

    for me they are always coran pagemarker. we have here many times discussions about them, i saw them even as a vintage  tuareg multitools holder decoration piece

    good purshassing

  • Very nice, I have only one or two, I really love these pieces, but they are not so easy to be found!

    I am keeping out of the discusion about Coran page markers to avoid disputes.

    You really have a wonderful collection!

  • the other use als coran/books pagemarker is for me new, just since few years . i know it as pagemarker since i was a kid and throw all my travels and contacts.

    in between, i saw it in different uses from jewelry,accessory until talismanic item, tools decoration and even animals jewelry ( the kamel transporting the bride )
