Oh Angelo this is really beautiful, elegant and super work. Are these Fistula's(?) worn by men as well as by women?
You know this woek is so top that it doesn.t matter whether they are antique or vintage. GR. Ingrid

Fibulas …yes ….i really don't think men wore these…i believe it's a women's jewels …headscarf brooches!! This group of Beni Yenni Great Kabile jewels might range from 1920's the big anklet ..to 1960's the crescent shape fibula ….but i have a parure …ring..necklace..earrings..bracelet from 80's with exceptional workmanship….here is the bracelet
Kisses
Very nice....
Angelo, you are right, Fibulas is the word I was looking for, a fistula, now I remember is an operation replacing some musculare tissues.?
What a beautiful bracelet. such clean and neat workmanship.
But talking of FIBULAS I thought that they also kept the cloaks of Roman soldiers and now the capes of Northern African men? GR. Ingrid
