I cancelled my lines by error, trying to write it again. I was with a group (very small) in the Draa valley a long time ago and did a lot of mountain trekking around there (once I almost fainted when looking down from a mountain path). We lived in a local farm with close contact to the women of the farm. Went to a hamam after the mountain trekking, and spent two nights in tents in the desert (camel trekking) with millions of stars in the sky... (I am getting nostalgic now, so I better stop and come back to the object on the photo), it is breathtaking, beautiful! Unfortunately I only bought a small fibulae at that time in Ourzazate in a state shop, which I lost later (not taking care...my fault). This object is really fantastic!!! The little mirros are great, they turn away evil spirits and bad looks! This is common practice for women in the Sahara... (it seems men do not need this kind of protection! Why, I wonder... I don't know!). Smiles, Eva
