Old Yemeni Net Like Head OrnamentThis is a three tiered old Yemeni piece of jewelry that hails from Al Bayda, Yemen, and it is from the 20th Century. This head ornament is known as "khait al ras," which literally means head string. This ornament has three hooks, one in the middle and one on each side. The ornament is made from four petaled rosette like elements cut out from metal and linked together with rings and two handmade twisted wire connectors with wire wrapped around them.

This is a three-tiered old Yemeni piece of jewelry that hails from Al Bayda, Yemen, and it is from the 20th Century. This head ornament is known as "khait al ras," which literally means head string. This ornament has three hooks, one in the middle and one on each side. The ornament is made from four-petaled rosette-like elements cut out from metal and linked together with rings and two handmade twisted wire connectors with wire wrapped around them. The last row, which would be worn close to the forehead, is a series of 13 domed elements with three dangles each. The head ornament is made of mixed metals which may include silver of low purity. In good vintage condition. There are three dangles missing.

The ornament would have identified its wearer as a married woman, and you can see a similar ornament at the Musée du Quai Branly.

Dimensions

40 x 15 cm (16 x 5 1/2"), without the hooks. Weight is 185 grams.

Good value
Size: 40, Color: Black With Black Strip
My husband and brother in law both found these pants to fit a little smaller than regular dress pants.....mostly they were tighter in the thighs but the length/waist was perfect. They each ordered a size or two up and had the pants tailors to fit. They looked very sharp and were of a good quality considering they were not super expensive. I hope they have the chance to wear these more often!

Reasonable quality, slightly small, definitely unhemmed
Size: 42, Color: White With Black Strip, Size: 42, Color: White With Black Strip
If these pants are the right look for what you want/need, they're a reasonably good quality option. But that said, in practice these looked a little "cheesy" with the black stripe. I can't say for sure that's a result of how the product is made/how it looks, but I just couldn't see myself wearing them. That's assuming I could wear them... In terms of fit, they were slightly small in the waist for both pairs I ordered. I'm not sure what I thought they meant when I read that they were unhemmed, but for those looking for pants to take out of the box and wear... these aren't for you. The ankles are not "finished" and require hemming to make them look acceptable. (This was my fault, so I didn't count off for this)
