    Beautiful, I think it is a  temple decoration (?), have never seen one in real, only on pictures so far (what a pity for me!)

    Hi Eva

    I do not actually have more info on this one except that it comes from Niger.... As you can see thecoins date from the Forties and they are not made of silver.
