This is lovely. Is it like toucoleur work? Is it gold on silver or low carat gold?
Thanx Patti
Definetely senegalese, but i am hesitant to label it toucouleur, possibly more old urban style.
I don't have means to know if its gold on silver or some sort of gold and silver alloy! i need to go to a jewel shop to have it tested!
beautiful and interesting piece. Is this a whole necklace or part of a necklace, it looks almost like a necklace for someone with a high function like they wear in Ghana!
Now I remember what these are called or du pays. I think there is a description inf Africa Adorned.
Yess patti: Or du pays, but i have't got the chance to test it and confirm the gold alloy or gilt silver!
Very valuable and wonderful find!
