Tue, May 6, 2008 - 5:32 AMHi Kalyani,
She actually purchased that one from me, Red Camel.
(Look here: theredcamel.tripod.com/SoldItems.htm about halfway down the page, left hand side)
This piece is actually Yemeni facial jewelry. They are worn over the veil. I have a very hard time finding these, and have a customer wait list a mile long. They are around, you just have to be on the look out for them. -

"This silver trellis-work headpiece, yerasget, from Harer is also found in norhern Yemen."
I've posted a copy of the one from the book in this Tribe's photo album. -
