Hamsa and fibula set with hallmarks

This is an old "set" with hallmarks on all the pieces. Collected in Morocco a long time ago. Based on patina and wear, the pieces appear to have been connected together for a long time. Originally the hamsa would have been worn separately.

Beautiful, especially as it is complete. I have seen the pendants with salamander before, but this is a)extremely nice and b) complete. The decoration on the hamsa is terrific!!! Really wonderful.
