ملاحظات	The 1851 Great Exhibition inspired a series of âLondon International Exhibitionsâ which took place in South Kensington in 1871, 1872, 1873 and 1874. Fine arts and scientific inventions and discoveries remained central display themes but each exhibition presented different aspects of manufacture. In 1872 one emphasis was on jewellery, including âpeasant jewelleryâ. The Exhibition Commissioners arranged with the South Kensington Museum (later V&A) to make a collection of peasant jewellery from âall parts of the world, which should become public property, for exhibition in the Museum after the close of the Exhibitionâ. A letter was sent by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to British representatives overseas asking for their help in securing pieces of jewellery, particularly examples with âa direct connection with the native instinctive art, which has been handed down by a long traditionâ. The outcome was considered to be âmost satisfactory â¦ a collection of characteristic ornaments never before equalled was obtainedâ. These pins are part of this collection. Described as âMoorishâ at the time, the marks show that they were made in Morocco. The name tizerzaÃ¯ is a generic one for fibulae. They were worn upside down, with the pins pointing upwards and the decorative heads hanging down, fastened at either side of the dress just below the shoulders. They cost Â£5 in 1872.
نص عينة	Partial marks of Arabic characters. Note On front of pin, and on the back of the head in the lower right and left corners.
Malzemeler ve teknikler	Silver, incised and pierced Silver Incising Piercing

Fiziksel açıklama	Pair of fibula pins linked by a loose loop-in-loop chain. Each pin has a flat oval head with a slightly convex drop-shaped centre surrounded by pierced projections with a rectangular section at the base. The pin is attached to the rectangular section by two large rivets, and has a horizontal tube at its top to hold the ring guard. The ring guard is engraved at both ends, is square in section, and has flat facetted terminals. In the centre of the chain there is a hollow engraved lentoid silver bead.
