Fabulous
beautiful. i have always wanted to get a nice large old one like this. I have seen similar in marrakech a couple of years ago.
they are nice. i like them a lot. i bought the last ones for sale in hoggar. they are not sheap at all. some suiss dealer are taking the risk and travel to sahara only for buying this kind of khomeissas and make new jewelry.
i m getting 2 more pieces this week. i think this one is the best. i do not know exactly , a member here asked me about the one i posted before, was gone before i could get the price, i called some dealer and agents and could get 3. i was verry lucky to find them.
if you realy like one, just tell me
Here is one I have managed to find, it is called a Tera according to Angela Fishers book. It issilver sheet over a tin back. The 3 lower triangles are not silver though.
And it is for sale too ; )
