A wonderful collection, Ingrid! I know the big one that is more like hair comb is used in Tigray and Eritrea. Are the other types also from different regions?
I only had a very simple one which I often use to put my hair up. But recently I found one of the kind I have long been looking for. Must post it when I get the time...
wonderful!!! I am happy that I could buy some, thanks a lot! Love also the Little flower ones, they are very cute and I have not seen them before. Happy to see them all in one pic! The ones at left are Special too, I have one like the right Piece (of the two left), but very very old. The other of the two Looks great too! Wow, I am in my hairpin dreams..............The ones on top with the round heads are also very delicious (but I have some of These already).
@Betty, when you post your wonderful Piece (like the one at right), please add a photo of you wearing it, it Looks so great!!!! It gives it another fascinating meaning, seeing it worn!
