wow congratualtions this one is called "dablij mfakran" wich means tortoise bracelet.
One of my favourite and very uncommon to find bracelet from Lybia.
Thanks! As you can see there are definitely Libyan things in the market, although I have not figured out if there are any more since the revolution. I suspect the amount has increased as we have a lot of refugees from Libya at the moment. Apparently there has always been a close relationship between southern Tunisia and Libya and perhaps this jewelry has always appeared in the Tunisian marketplace.
Very nice bracelet!
