ملاحظات
Earrings, in a wide variety of designs, were worn by women throughout the Islamic world. This example was bought for one shilling and sixpence at the International Exhibition, London, 1872. The crescent shape is typical of Islamic earrings. It was described as having the name halak when it was acquired, which is a generic Arabic name for earrings.
