This looks very nice and attractive. It is a common type tome from Libya. It also comes with a different decoration , i.e. different star or with a crescent. Very nice of you to post..Mustafa
Note that the right photo resembles a different star and a crescent in the centre. Also it shows palm trees instead of an eye. The two examples signify the variety Tripoli's culture through history.
Many thanks for all this interesting information, Mustafa. I greatly appreciate Libyan silver jewelry and was lucky to find this piece. Thanks to you I also know more about is symbolism now! Some of the leaves/eyes in my piece struck me as "fish", but maybe I am imagining this :-)
Thank you Betty for your comment . Yes I think you are right ;there is fish on the sides 'three of them' and other three looked to me as palm leaves but may be I am wrong in there; but no eyes in your piece.
