Head Ornament - Saudi Arabia

Posted by Peter Hoesli on December 16, 2016 at 5:40am

I found this extraordinary head ornament in a very dusty place (at the end, I was looking like the shop...). It was tugged away and I had to climb over saddles, leather hangings (those were beautiful as well...), stone grinders, wooden wheels and buckets (carved from one single piece of wood!) to reach it ... but I did and I am very happy with it!
