Shanaguel

I just found a photo in a book confirming that these are a set of shanaguel ornaments meant to be suspended from the hair. Shanaguel usually have a box-type construction which these lack. But, I now see an example similar to these in "Symbols et Bijoux Traditionnels de Tunisie" by Clemence Sugier (See p. 31).
