  • Very appropriate lovely amulet! maybe it will help stop the confusion of our messages!

    What is the charactreristic (compared to others fairly  similar) which has given it this name? The raised pyramidal shape? (similar to the so called Tin Hinan tumulus?) The four corners small balls and the bigger central one? Both features?Is it a new one?

  • Nice amulette, why did you call my tchérot with the round circle Tin-Hinan Motive ? This one looks quite different and is also called Tin Hinan? I would like to understand........thanks.

  • Do you remember, you said, this was the Tin Hinan Motive. Or am I mistaken?  It is different from your Tin Hinan amuelett, and I would like to understand.....thank you.2505994055?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024

  • Qchantal and Eva. you are right about what you wrote. i know it is confusing but we make it clear.

    in the textil or leather.... work, when it becomes to 2 dimensional form ( this one almost only by the region arround the grab ) the tinhinan sample is round with/ or  in three circles sometimes with 3 points. it is the view of the grab from the top

    it the work is 3 dimensional, like metal, building ,wood...... the form is in stairs. it is also tinhinan sample, view sidely.2505993804?profile=original2506003382?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024
