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.

Helped Tighten My Skin & Minimize Pores
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule, Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I’ve loved the Dr. Melaxin Cyano Pink Spicule Serum! The bottle is small, but it lasted me around 6 months since I only use one pump every other night. When I first started using it, I noticed a tingling sensation, but over time my skin adjusted and I barely notice it now. I’ve definitely seen my pores appear smaller and my skin feels tighter and smoother after using it.

Great for pore reduction
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
This product works great!! it almost feels like an exfoliator. It reduced the pours on my nose, which were very big and now you can barely see them. I would recommend this product if you have large pores also make skin look firmer and smoother more for a night cream though.

More than expected

Love, love and recommended to friends. Leaves my skin feeling and looking great. At 69 I don't expect miracles but can definitely see an improvement in texture, glow and line minimizing. I'm hooked and will never be without!

Micro-needling effect!
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
Love how you can feel the micro-needling effect. I use this is my first application after toning and follow up with my serum and moisturizing routine. I do believe it gives my face a plump feeling, especially after gua sha. Will continue to use in my daily!

Helps my moisturizer absorb better
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I’m not quite sure if the product is fully working the way it is supposed to but I do like that when I use this and the apply moisturizer, it absorbs into my skin better and leaves my skin smoother and a lot less greasy. It’s easy to throw in my travel bag because of the size and you really only just need a little for each use so it goes a long way got the cost.
