Somehow These remind me of a Picture I have seen, of Berber women having something similar on their head.... but I am not sure if this is the same.
You are very correct, Eva!
@Thanks Hillary, so at least I know my brain is functioning well....
You are right, Eva. It is a very characteristic leather or embroidered headband of the Akhsass with usually five cones like these ones and beads of amber, etc.
Here is a lovely web pic of a berber lady wearing such a headband.
@Patty: that is a very lovely Picture, thank you, it adds a lot to the understanding of ethnic jewellery to see, how it is worn.
I never saw these as "lose" beads as yours are. Are these for sale?
Yes they're, Harald: http://www.berberia.es/es/coleccion/950-3-conos-plata-tocado-berebe...
Very nice. But do you have more than 3 of those?
I am sorry, I do not. Actually this is the first time I have come across them like this. Found on my last trip to Morocco two weeks ago.
