well done with cleaning. the jewel is beautiful and complet.

ethiopia is full of treasurs and the population is still producing in some deep areas the jewelry with the old tradition techniques and shapes. i hope it will continue.

this Hairpin is also used as protection against bad spirits, the sound should keep them away and pull attention of nice men

@Thank you Ait Ouakli, this is interesting and good to know. I can well need some protection against bad spirits or rather bad people at the moment while I do not need attention of nice men.........(my husband would not appreciate that). . So I will wear it more often! Thanks
