  • Ingrid, your treasure chest is full of wonderful surprises!

  • Betty, since I am back from Ethiopia, I got connections with some Afghan dealers and really they are a center of Asian trading, like as old as the silk and Lapis route.

Most of it I wear and some I will sell.  But like all collectors we end up with too much because of falling in love with pieces and you love to own it.

  • This is a beautiful item, very special. Never saw a silver skull cap only the silver hats of Northern Africa!

  • Yes Harald, a good collectors item and....wearable. Gr. Ingrid.
