    Very nice piece. I know from Mali (close to the Mauritanian border, some Mauritanians living in Timbuktu) that Mauritania has beautiful items! Also love their fantastic clothes (women, beautiful colours). And their music!!! It is breathtaking (for my taste)! A sister of my mother-in-law lives in Mauritania and comes to visit sometimes, when I was in Mali... also some of their jewellery styles have been adopted in Timbuktu (Mali)
