    Wow ... this is quite a piece. I have one similar that I found in Marrakech after you left, with a ram's hallmark. It is about an inch land a half ong, with a hamsa as background, then a star of david as a raised design, then another hamsa hanging off the star of david, a bit like the hanging fish here. It's has a beautiful soft wondrous patina. I'll send you a photo when I get back to Sydney and unpack my goodies!
