  • Thank you SUZAN,

    This is a very valuable photo as it is the first one i see testifying for the existence of the very scarce round "worm holes" fibulas"

    The HIRZ (necklace pendantà is HUUUGE!!

  • This is a truly wonderful image  thank you for posting it Suzan...learned a lot from it already

    Sx

  • Beautiful picture, love the amber bead necklace! Great design.

  • I want that hirz pendant!

  • I've never seen amber beads used this way, fantastic image Suzan!

  • Yes , this is the style off Issafen, It is the onlt place I have seen records of them worn this way.

     

  • Nice size jewerly!!! love this photo

  • Yes I love this one too!!

    My mission is to find a set of circular taouka in my lifetime!!

    Sx

     

  • Again, those round worm holes fibulas are wonderful and i am for once very happy to see a women wearing two sets of fibula pairs the same time. Definetely not an oddity

    Very rich woman.

    Does anyone have an idea about the black and white bracelets??? intriguing!

  • Odd indeed about the black and white bracelets.  Early plastics?  Used to help avoid chafing by the big, assumingly heavy bangles?
