A "defira" pendant. It probably was part of a larger arrangement from Djerba called "l'agal".

Beautiful pendant with typical Tunisian crescents and very nice colourful pendant.

Beautiful and rare. These go for high prices on some internet site. Great to have some enamel left. Another little treasure and nicely displayed.

These are rare and definetely part of a head or hair ornament as you suggest. The name you give "defira" means small braid/plait

This one is nice, it appears to have some of the enamel intact. The ones I saw in Tunis last year were without enamel, heavy and, to me, not very attractive despite their rarity. They were very expensive, though. Alaa has a good example of one on fb right now.

Thank you very much. It was a lucky Ebay find.
