  • Do I tire you guys already... I hope not...

  • ...you certainly don't, Rolf.There's just  not always someone online who can comment :-) 

    I like these fibulas, but can't say much apart from that they look Moroccan to me. Probably the same region as your earrings. But that's just a wild guess as I know little about Berber jewels.

  • I think I'd like to take a shot at guessing their provenance before the real experts offer their opinions :) I'd say the middle one at least is from the Souss.

  • Betty you are sure right about them being marocain Berber. 98% of purr Objekts coma from Maroc
    ..will see if we can find out more about them guessing game. Preethi thanks to you to..,
  • Oh God... 98% of our Objekts come from Maroc...
  • Hi Rolf ...never tire of seeing these beauties..just very bust time for me!

    These are needlenosed fibula from the upper Souss and Sirouan region.
