Mustafa, here the three bangles I have a t home will post next week-end more of them. These are rather small ones. They do not carry any mark, as old/antique silver of Ethiopia are never marked. Marking silver is something which started as late as 1976-80 about. It was not an requirement.
Thank you Ingrid for posting these. They are really the same as the ones I posted from Libya. These from Libya are also good silver 900 as most of the Libyan Silver. In Tripoli marking is quite old as a requirement which is an advantage now for approximate dating and also for making sure that it is silver. This is a new piece of information for me thanks for that Ingrid.
