This lovely,decorative and warm piece comes from Arussi, Ethiopia, worn by the Arussi Wollo women, with their partial breaded hair tight on the skul and left free from just above the ear. It is made from old whilte heart beads from Italia and the large beads holding the strings often from aluminium beads of large glass beads. The tassles fastend onto a piece of leather. So ready to go to the wedding parties
