Tunisian rihanna chains

Classic silver Tunisian chains of differing sizes. The large one has links of 4.5 cms diameter, but is probably vintage rather than antique. They have been used from at least the 19th C.

This is very useful, Cordelia. Thanks for putting them together. I knew about the one with large links but not the others.
