Tunisian Head Ornaments

Good silver, rather heavy, the bezels set with coral. Originally these would have hooks to suspend from a head band, and the other end would have one or more chains terminating in small charms.

    These are wonderful.  Any photos of them being worn?  It reminds me of Kabyle and Moroccan work that is missing the enamel.

    Hi Hillary:  I do not have photos of being worn at this time, but if I find one I will post.  Mostly I just have photos of others like these confirming that they are Tunisian.  These ornaments are about 4 inches in length.  I quite frequently see them re-purposed as necklace pendants.

    Good pieces indeed - my reaction is a bit like Hillary's about their "missing the enamel" from the otehr regions. Very good a pleasing silver work, however, and the corals provide colour.
