    2506012004?profile=originalLook, These are two twisted bracelets from Mali - Burkina Faso. THe big is Peul bought in Burkina, the small one is from Mali, worn by Sonrai-Peul and even Mali Tuareg. It does not look so refined like yours, but it contains copper, which issaid to have healing effects.

    They both look elegant. Especial the Burkina Faso one.  A very strong character with its long twists.  I know about the puur copper effect on what is claimed especially on rheumathisme I think. Thank you
    Eva, the principal is indeed the same but all three of them carry their own stamp.
