Beautiful, I love these!!!
there was a whole discussion before about the beads on them, which I don't know that much about. I just think they are really pretty, and on this woven design that is very complicated and braided. Smallest shells also. These look good in hair also i wear with the other one ... some of these types of items are my favorite things. they are very personal.
I can now recognize the shell beads which are carved and typical for the Guedra headdresses. Some of this is certainly overlapping (into the South of Morocco and around Timbuktu, Mali, where many Mauritanians have emigrated........ at the moment they fled back to Mauritania due to the difficult situation). They are really nice, it is worth to stay longer on the picture with the eyes and see the details.
