Very attractive!
Beautiful. Simple and so elegant. Are they coins (where from?) or metal disks?
Very pretty and cheerful piece, my appreciations. Gr.Ingrid
Possibly from Aures in Algeria?
Beautifully complete!
Thank you very much. The discs are different old silver coins. They seem to be mostly Moroccan though they are difficult to recognize because many of them are very worn. I have actually found a quite similar yet simpler piece in Rabate. It is attributed (probably) to the Beni Bou Yahi in the area between Nador and Guercif.
