found this Yemeni necklace in a fleamarket in Cape Town
It looks interesting, Ishvara. But what has happened to the beads? Or is it just the light?
anyone know more about this piece ? looks like a mixture of silver and other metals
Ishvara, it is a year later, but like you gave it a title Yemeni- Ethiopian, I would place it more in Yemini, because of the smaller beads those are definitely Yemeni, the pendant can be from both places exceptt he the ending decorations (the bands) are again a bit extra for Ethiopia and the larger beads again can be from both places as well as the smaller round beads I would place them in Ethiopia (from the prayer necklaces). So in short I think it to be a marriage.. GR. Ingrid.
