Wow, this has become a really impressive collection!
@thank you Betty. It started all by a coincidence........ I fell over a hairpin and found it nice... so I continued.... I also have some Tuareg, Dogon, and from other West African countries. But the Ethioipian ones are the finest.
@Thank you Akkie! I am glad about each Ethiopian hairpin that I find...They are all rare and difficult to get! I also got an Aluminium bracelet by the Southern Ethnies, and a brass button for embellishment of clothes...........will show them later.
Wonderful presentation as ever...Such a treasure of interesting old hair pins...Well done.
@Thank you Chantal! I just stored them in an extra box, I kept them before with the other Ethiopian things, and each time I wanted to look at them, there were 1-2 missing (fallen out or I did not see them....). Now I have an "Ethiopian hairpins Box - containting 16).
