    A very interesting piece, Sarah. Can you supply more information about it? For I'd in principle like to post it on EJ&A.

    Hi Joost,

    The construction is of leather with many tiny silver discs stitched to the surface typical pidgeon foot pendants at the base, spirals and coral

    from Essaouria a piece of Jewish origin circa 1920

    there is a cabachon of some type missing from the top possibly another spiral.

    I shall post an image of one being worn,

    S x
