  I love these especially the algerian ones where they use coral tubes embedded in chains

  Hi Ayis, do you have an Algerian jbin?  If so can you post?  Here is another jbin I saw at museum in Tamarzet, but it looks like an Algerian one.  What do you think?

  unfortunately not. I have been staring at a beautiful one for months now, with coral and a wonderful patina, but the seller is asking three times what i consider a fair price, so no jbin for me so far.

  My jbin is used, but I think not very old.  The seller over-cleaned it a bit, so it is rather shiny.  It was only 1.8TD per gram, so very affordable.
