  • a very nice example of a Takasa. Seldom seen one complete like this!

  • Thanks Eva, I didn't know the name of this necklaces. Yes, I think they are so beautiful with the wool ending!, so original. I bought also several of this ones and it's difficult to choose wich one is more beautiful.

  • I have never seen one with the wool at its endings! Very special! Actually I do not have a complete one like this, I have only the pendant in the centre without the necklace. One cannot always have all.......perhaps some day (have Egourous and Chat-chat necklaces....), at the moment I am into hairpins........Yes, this type is called Takasa or Takassa.

  • Yes, special and it looks very nice when you wear it. Actually I've seen young touareg women in the Air desert wearing them!
