Tunisian jewelry. The bust set - Rayhana

This stamp depicts a woman dressed in traditional red drapery, showcasing a Rayhana, a massive pectoral chain made of intertwined metal rings (often silver or vermeil). We also distinguish the use of circular fibulae which hold the garment on the shoulders, as well as necklaces of amber or coral beads. This adornment is emblematic of the Sahel and southern Tunisia, where jewelry is not only aesthetic but constitutes an important part of the bride's dower and a symbol of social protection.
