Wow, the centre piece is certainly something special! Not only the raised middle, but also the decorations on its head and ears! Never seen such before! Do you know where it comes from?
the big one is completly unknown frm me, it does not fit with the rules in touareg items i know.
something special

Hi guys, I have no idea about the central cross. Thought it may be from Niger, but hoped one of you would know more. Does anyone have a copy of the book on Tuareg crosses? Does something like this feature in it?
I got this in Faouzi's shop and he added the cotton thread and a little cross to hang on the back.
i do not think that you will find this one in any book. i see it as a nice hybride piece. many nice engravings put together to make a beautiful ensemble.
in this shape, they were made in the 50 until 80 for the european use but they had another decoration and engraving
