  • How interesting Kathleen, did (does) it serve as a liquid container? or gunpowder p.e.   On first view it looks like the forfather of the Yemini or Ethiopian cresent ornament.

  • Yes, I agree with Ingrid. It does look like a piece of jewellery. Could people mistake it for that? I wonder how big it is and whether it was worn.

  • Thelma I do think it will serve both for use and decorative.  Lets' hear what Kathleen has to tell us.

    I like its manly look.  It first struck me as an Omani piece.
