Ethiopian Hairpin, old, silver, Picture 1

    @Thanks Betty! I found it by accident, I wonder what Ingrid will say. (I have no further info about this Piece, except "old Ethiopian Hairpin"), so any Input will be very appreciated!

    Lovely solid hairpin Eva, the granulate are unusual large.  Absolute an individual piece and firm. I supect it to be Tigrai/Wollo border because of its solidity. Good addition to your collection.
