a very nice example of a Takasa. Seldom seen one complete like this!
Thanks Eva, I didn't know the name of this necklaces. Yes, I think they are so beautiful with the wool ending!, so original. I bought also several of this ones and it's difficult to choose wich one is more beautiful.
I have never seen one with the wool at its endings! Very special! Actually I do not have a complete one like this, I have only the pendant in the centre without the necklace. One cannot always have all.......perhaps some day (have Egourous and Chat-chat necklaces....), at the moment I am into hairpins........Yes, this type is called Takasa or Takassa.
Yes, special and it looks very nice when you wear it. Actually I've seen young touareg women in the Air desert wearing them!
