ملاحظات
Earrings, in a wide variety of designs, were worn by women throughout the Islamic world. Plain heavy silver ones, like these, are typical of the traditional jewellery worn by the nomadic peoples of the Sahara. The polyhedral end, made from a cube with the corners cut off, is often found on bracelets and anklets as well as earrings, and is one of the most distinctive aspects of the jewellery worn on the southern edges of the Sahara, from the Red Sea to the Atlantic. These were described as âModern Egyptianâ when they were acquired by the Museum in 1904, and probably come from the extreme south of the country or the Sudan.
