I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME FOR THESE BUT I THINK THEY ARE FROM INDIA AND ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COORG PEOPLE ALONG THE MALABAR COAST. NO DOUBT VARIATIONS ON THE TYPE ARE PRESENT THRU-OUT INDIA AND PERHAPS INTO PERSIA?

I HAD TO LOOK IT UP THE OLD COMPUTER BETWEEN THE EARS DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK.

I THINK IT IS A MOPLAH PERHAPS USED BY THE MAPILLAS PEOPLE. IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD OLD EXAMPLE. FANCIER THAN MY EXAMPLE AND A BIT DIFFERENT.
