ملاحظات	This modest hook was one of the first pieces of North African traditional jewellery to enter the V&A collections. It was described as a dress ornament which was said to have been worn as an emblem of virginity, and which pre-dated the French occupation of Algeria, when it was acquired in 1865. Hooks like this were usually worn at the time to fasten or secure other pieces of jewellery. The name aqafa simply means hook.
