Large pair of solid metal matched fibula pins with jackal’s paw design. These pins are new pieces made by tribal craftsmen. In a full fibula set there is a long decorative handmade chain running from the bottom of one pin to the bottom of the other, and sometimes incorporates small pendants or coins. In Morocco and other North African countries, women traditionally wear a garment made from a long piece of fabric that is wrapped around the body. The ends are fastened at the shoulders with embellished pins like these - the original safety pin! The pin is pushed through the two pieces of fabric and back out again, then the ring is turned under the pin to hold securely. Perfect for adding to tribal or renaissance faire costuming or incorporate into your belly dance costume for a unique embellishment.
