Two silver temple ornaments (for women). From Yemen, ca. early 20th century. To be hooked into the hat or headgear. Should come as a pair, but these ones lost their twins. Height (with pin): 120 mm (left) & 168 mm (right). Diameter of the spherical elements: 21 mm & 33 mm (right). (Inv.n° müç171a&b - Kavak Costume Collection - Antwerpen/Belgium).

    According to the references I found, I would think: from Sanaa.  Can anyone confirm/deny?  Thanks in advance.
