Notlar
Earrings, in a wide variety of designs, were worn by women throughout the Islamic world. These earrings were described as from West Africa when they were bequeathed to the Museum in 1904. They are more likely to be from Nubia, a region which stretches along the Nile from southern Egypt to the Sudan. Plain flat crescents, like this, with simple engraved geometric decoration, are typical of the traditional jewellery worn by Nubian women.
