<p>[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 309297, member: 2844"]You're right, in fact the star of David is seen much more in Islamic art than in Jewish art. In this case the combination with the daisy is the tell tale sign. In North Africa the star of David with a daisy is the symbol of Jews. You also see it on Jewish houses. A daisy is also a Jewish symbol in the Middle East.</p><p>Non-Jewish Berber jewellery (often Jewish made) of Tunisia and Algeria usually has ancient Carthagean symbolism like a stylized Tanit (Goddess), birds and fish. And/or the ever-present hamsa.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
