Have never seen the like of these before...great find. They look a bit like an Indian cow's nose ring......just a thought! Great photo.
Thanks a lot, Chantal. Very original comparison!.
very nice, I have never seen These either with the dangles!
Jose, where do you get your info about the Rashaidas? (I know I can have very original ideas.....)
These are great! They look like a variation on defence bracelets ... you could rattle them first to give a warning!
Those great pendants are common for the Rashaida or Bisharya peoples. They are very, very light and thin. I have a pendant with them. The bracelets look to be of a common design for the East Africa/Yemen region. I think the combination is exciting.
very nice jose. as usual, master pieces.
semilar ones are also worn from tubu women in tchad
Great pair Jose! Mine are nearly the same a bit different in the dangles and the pattern in between the rows of little "granulles" (are those hammered?).
here is one:
Jose are you sure they are Rashaida anklets?
