Fibula (Khelal - moon)

This pin is apparently a descendent of the fibula worn by the women of the ancient world. Here, too, it alone carries the whole weight of the fabric composing the women's garment. Over time, various decorations, in various techniques, were added to these pins, and they became decorative objects. The technique used in the decoration can also indicate the wearer's regional affiliation.
