nice and interesting piece.difficult to say if it is petite kabylie or aures, i will tip more for chawi work but made in big city as batna, tebessa,sougahras . the circle with snake heads is kabyl. i have if you look at my fotos a bracelet looks semilar. the rest is for me more chawi. there is some catalogues or books that write kabyl but i m still not 100 % sure about because, the villages and small cities at the edge of east kabylie wear a lot chawi jewelry as kabyl ones
great purshassing
this fibula is symbol of womenpower and it is old sample with long background history.
near tanit, there is 3 more women power in northafrica and the amazigh women still keeping their legend a life.
the fibula with snake is the powerst symbol
What a lovely item! Very special.
Beautiful Ait! I especially enjoy the association with women power. Thank you for posting.
This is exquisite, Jose. How old do you think it is? Love the background. Is it a special kind of wrapping paper? Thanks to Ait for the information.
Thank you very much!. I am sure about age. Probably vintage rather than antique (unless it has been very well preserved ..).
I meant "not" sure ...
