@chantal. it is part tahoua and part agadez and part imagination, we call them fanatasy pendants.

as i wrote, there is no rules or history about the 21 crosses, there is a list of crosses ranged from some administrartion for regions in niger. the smith peolple , some they follow the list, some time not. there is some ones never saw the list at all. as we both wote, it needs pages to discuss this subjekt and if we start with the males symboles and transmission of some pendants from father to son and the 4 basic directions..... it needs books :-)

Ait, what is the name of the one which is slightly more yellow, on the left, the first on the left after the 3 central one. It has a sort of keyhole in the middle top part? ( a version of Tahoua?).
