Provenance
"Sollen von den Bisharin kommen. In Kairo bei einem Händler gekauft, der sonst nur waren aus dem Süden bezieht. Einmal sah ich derartige Gehänge in Verbindung mit einem kosmetischen Besteck (da aus unedlen Metallen, vielleicht beim Ankauf durch Zwischenhändler entfernt?). Dieser verwendungszweck wurde aber von meinem Händler verneit."
