Nice old set of earrings still bearing the enamel wich was applied directly on the crevices of the casted crescent wich is a very rare pattern
hi sarah , thank you for the credit you give me, too much compared to your terrain knowledge
warmest greetings from Paris
Help please! Can anyone tell me more about this piece, like how old it is? Ayis! Are you there?! Will post more pix tomorrow. Thanks in advance.
Hi Savanna: When Ayis did comment on this post he said among other things "Nice old set of earrings still bearing the enamel wich was applied directly on the crevices of the casted crescent wich is a very rare pattern". He may well comment further, but meanwhile I think you can derive benefit from the fact that he called these earrings "old". For what it is worth I would - very roughly! - guess, myself, 1920-30, going by pieces which I have seen dated - not least just recently in my postings from the Jewish Moroccan Heritage Museum, on our Facebook page "Ethnic Jewellery and Adornment". You and other devotees of Moroccan jewellery (which comprises a lot of people contributing to this site) may well wish to look at my posts on that page, as I posted a significant number of fine pieces from that institution, some of them obviously rare including even pieces from around 1770. I am not going to find the time to post them here as well. Just recently I also obtained some pics from the Israel Museum, but those from the other place seem to be more consistently "pure" and more authoritatively described. Anyway, I would rely on Ayis for the date of this, and you are right to ask him if you find "old" too general!
