Featured A Useful Research Tool

Greetings, all. I would like to direct your attention to an item that just came across my virtual desk and which I think will be useful for those who are interested in tribal jewelry.

Sigrid van Roode, whom some of you may recognize as a collector and serious scholar of this type of jewelry, has created a very useful sheet of search terms in various languages.

I append the link here: https://bedouinsilver.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Bedouin-Silver-Search-Terms.pdf

Have at it!

 

Thanks for the link, @GreekAntiques , perfect.

And as a nice person too. She has also written a beautiful book "Desert Silver", which I can recommend wholeheartedly.

 

Thanks Greek,very informative site for a Jewelry nitwit like me.One does find in the so-called 'junk boxes' tribal pieces,that may be quite fine but don't shout-out that fact to My Western eyes.In the West we are trained to drool over silver,gold & costume,but I definitely could learn more about these pieces.

 

Great link, ty

 

Thanks, i book marked it for future reference.
