  Thanks for posting. Nice chain. Are the beads coral and amber? The hollow beated coins are special.

  This is beautiful, worn over the shoulders?  There are similar Saudi or Yemeni ornaments but this has a much more tribal feel.

  Beautiful, Peter: I am increasingly in awe of your vast and wonderful collection.

  I agree with Lynn that some elements of this piece do remind one of Saudi/Oman/Yemen jewellery, and second her wish to learn how this ornament was worn.

  Dear Betty and Lynn; I will ask the next time, when I visit the dealer in Amman, how this one was exactly worn. As mentioned before, the other dealer in Amman, who had a similar (chain was not in silver but fabric/thread) unit, sold it together with a veil, a nose ring and fabulous (and I mean fabulous!) hair ornaments (they were very big - at least 4 times as big as the ones pictured here - and featured each a pin to fasten it to the hair). I will let you know. With kind regards. Peter
