What an impressive collection Eva! Very lovely pieces.
@Thank you Betty. I have lots lots of Tuareg items.... .
The random arrangement is wonderful Eva. Nice collection!
@thank you Toya. I start to enjoy them again too.
What a beautiful collecton Eva, maybe you can explain to me the different shapes. All of them do have this warm rounded softness whatever the material. What is the meaning of the crosses and who wears them? Like the stunning one on your painting, an enormous one to keep the capes of blankets in place.
Do I see also some pendants for the hair? So curious. I have seen some Tuareg silver jewellery (new) in the tropical Museum of Tervuren,Belgium(Brussels), top quality and very refined also with Niello if I am not mistaken. And imagine you have the old ones with their warm glow of wear. Beautiful Eva, thank you.
Thank you Eva, looking forward to this very interesting tables. Sounds also very disciplined.
Good night.
