always love these............ my favourite stays the Iferouane (the two lower ones), but all are nice.
At least it is good to see old things available in the field... makes it all the more hopefull !
what I do with crosses...
My most worn pair of all
Thanks all! Linda, that's a great idea! I wish I had thought of this when I purchased them...I'd have looked for two of nearly the same size....
These were purchased from an itinerant trader from Niger, who had piles of crosses for sale.
wow! Great stuff on the additional photos!!! The pair shown on necklaces are beautiful, but not Tuareg crosses, they are probably Ethiopian (not to be mixed up: Ethiopian are Christian crosses, Tuareg crosses have nothing to do with religion, even though they are also worn as protection). In all, they all look great!
Very nice, good to hear you still can buy them now a days!
