Very interesting to see these worn. Thank you for posting this.
Yes, very interesting, a compleet new style for me.
Great picture! Chin chains were worn throughout the Levant I believe and also in the Caucasus region.
Great photo! Have not seen this one. Love the triple-haydari bracelet arm holding the adorable baby.
Thanks Toya, Ingrid, Betty and Lynn for your nice comments on the chin chain and the postcard.
It was a lucky find; it was terrible curled up in a lump when I saw it at the market. The knot was not easy to loosen. I didn't know if it was complete, when I bought it. I recognized the Ottoman coins, the pendants and the hooks...
I have a book on Palestine jewelry and clothes (Kleidung und Schmuck aus Palästina & Jordanien: 'Pracht und Geheimnis', published by Rautenstrauch-Joest museum, Cologne/Köln).
I've posted another picture, where you can see how the chains are fastened on the hat:
