Yemeni anklet Wadi Da'wan?-Detail

Posted by Betty on August 26, 2014 at 11:03am

I am very excited about this find. It's an anklet looking very similar to a piece shown in Marjorie Ransom's latest book on Yemeni Silver (p.183) where it is described as originating in Wadi Da'wan, Yemen. I seem to remember, however that Nada posted a similar piece which had an Eyptian hallmark.
