    Thank you Lynn that was very nice of you to share the picture . The lady is wearing  several ornaments that are worn in Libya. So I wonder whether she is a Libyan Lady ?

    Dear Mustafa; this is a very special piece indeed! I have a large necklace from Yemen, which is featuring cut-out patterns, very similar to this. I will post it during the next days. With kind regards. Peter

    Mustafa, the photo is labelled as a Libyan woman.  You will know better than anyone else though.  :)

    I think that will be right. Almost all of her jewelry is Libyan.
