    Beautiful!  This reminds me of Tigray hairpins (only These have bells instead of coins).

    Very beautiful and a great addition to your wonderful Bulgarian collection. I will add another style of head covering pin that I just acquired.

    As a wearer of hair pins I love this piece, Peter. Very beautiful and solid-looking.
