    Does the ring open to put leaves or so in it?

  • Toya October 9, 2013 at 8:48am

    Ingrid, the ring does not open. They stuff pieces of scented wool into the openings.

    This is a temporal , it would be worn on pairs, each side of the head.
    The dwell would have been soaked with perfumed oils.
    These are from The anti atlas region of Morocco.
