I never saw this posted , it's a very nice old one . is it yours?
yes- i bought it from someone in an antique market who thought it was a bit of bishops regalia, but i later identified it in Gerlach's book as a jewish bridal headdress from Sale.
the jewels are glass and the metal is gilded but the background is covered in quantities of tiny natural seed pearls probably from the gulf- i have been offered quite a high figure for it but so far havent considered selling...
They seem to be quite valuable in Morocco but clients here like them and will pay fairly good prices.
If you ever want to sell it let me know, thanks
