  My dear Sarah,I hope this comment finds you well,I've been collecting north african jewellery,specifically Moroccan gold,I love the pictures you took of the gold pieces,the lebba was also photographed from the reverse to show the champleve enamel which was a superior craft at the time,so my question is:are the 2 andalucian pieces for sale?and if yes,what would be the price and do you have better pictures of the 2 items.Warmest regards Sad.

  IMHO Valencia seems unlikely, i would vote for granada or even early moroccan piece from post reconquista

  I see some interesting similarities with this diadem from Bulgaria or Ottoman area. I see similarities to this diadem that I have worked with from a collection, this one is either Bulgarian or Ottoman Empire area.

  Wow Linda, this is a wonderful diadem.

   

  Indeed the similarities are more than superficial and andalucian techniques and features are mixing well with asian and eastern ones (the little hanging balls, the crescent, the double arc-like shaped diadem, the peacok tail shape of the toppings)

   

  Typically ottoman empire (crescent and coral beads)

   

  Is it  part of a public or private collection? have it been published before?

   

  cheers

  Hi this piece is something for sale but I don't own it. Some one that has a regular jewelry business has it in the inventory and doesn't really know what it is or where it's from particularly They sell estate 19th c and art deco jewelry.  It is probably still available as they don't do much business with non wearible and ethnic jewelry.
