An early piece of twentieth-century silver Yemeni jewelry. This headband, called 'asba or 'isaba, was placed on the forehead like a fringe. It was worn by northern Yemeni women and was likely made in Wasab. 

The headband has an almost chainmail feel with 5 rows of connected chains and domes attached on top. From the bottom of the ornament hang several stylized hand-of-Fatima or khamsa dangles. The band ends with flat semi-circular finials, each decorated with five domes and roping. The finials are tied around the head or onto the headdress. This old piece can be worn as a necklace by tying both ends with a ribbon or twine.

The head ornament tests positive for silver. It has some oxidation and depressions in the domes but is generally in good vintage shape.

You can see a similar adornment in Musée du Quai Branly's collection and in Marjorie Ransom's book: Silver Treasures from the Land of Sheba.

Men turtleneck
Size: Medium, Color: A-black
its soft, warm fabric, true-to-size fit, would suggest sizing up for person with muscles to avoid too tightly of a fit.🥰

Turtle-Turtle!
Size: X-Large, Color: A-black
Fits well, wears well, and holds up well in the washer/dryer. This is a nice product and has not stretched, faded or shrank. The neck part of this turtle comes up to just under the chin (folded over) and stays snugly in place when pulled over the head. The slim fit is nice for me, but may not work with beefier bodies. Arms are not baggy but fit well. Sleeves are snug on the wrist. It keeps you warm but is not bulky. Fits nicely under sport coats, outer jackets, and warm up suit jackets. I'm very satisfied with this turtle and recommend it.
