rami, i m not sure if it is ebony. they are normaly made with ebony or acacia and silver wire
As said under the other picture, I love these. The influence of Mauritania has gone to Timbuktu, although they made them less intricate and less fine than these...... I bought a necklace and a bracelet with this technique there 12 years ago.... What I do not know, is it really Ebony (I was told so), but Ebony should be very hard and strong, I thought - my bracelet (looking similar to the piece above) broke after two years...... without applying a lot of force. I could not find the smith anymore from whom I had bought it, when I went back some years later (just wanted to buy the same again). Meanwhile a trip to Timbuktu is not feasible anymore due to the desperate situation, even not "en famille".
eva, they always brake in ebony. this one is not anklet and not ebony. it is why i have some pieces from.
@What a pity (that the bracelets always break after some time). What is yours? Horn?
A wonderful display of some of my favorite jewelry!
