  There is nothing in the oasis, people left long ago and moved to the cities. Now when people sell the only place you can buy in Cairo and I bought those in Cairo over ten years ago!!

  i find them all the time splendid. it is as i wrote you a year before. the pattern is originaly the amazigh symbol Z. in the tifinagh writing ( amazigh alphabet )

  also the sign of freedom. ofcourse connected with other minings as Tribal wrote about the stud representing new life

  My understanding of z or yazz is free people. A celebration of being Berber, a symbol of pride in the cultural heritage.
