    This post is 5 years old but I just noticed it.

    Is this piece still around?  I am wondering if it is one of the Tunisian hallmarks? 

    Does anyone know?

    Oops, I meant to ask if you think it is an ALGERIAN mark.  They have a more recent mark that is a snake head.  Curious.

    Hello Viktoria, I'm not sure if we still have this piece. It is a forehead ornament. If I come across it, I'll let you know.
