Wow! A true museum piece...
Thank you Betty. I am also fascinated by them. They are mostly worn in the country side though. Gr. `ingrid
Dear Peter. Thank you. Altogether I do have 3 different sizes and one more to show of a different shape and older. one day I will show it as well. Gr. Ingrid
Gorgeous! Almost too beautiful and too precious to wear........! One would need a guard to keep an eye on it ! (in case of loss or theft)
Hallo Eva, Thank you. They did wear them on festive occasions,such as weddings mostly and on some women parties. ( with dancing in lines, can you imagine the bells clicking? and they just sing and a couple of ladies would slam two hard wooden blocks together. the rest would clap their hands and sing while dancing. i was invited sometimes to such a to do, with lovely food!} Gr. Ingrid
