Berber Fibula? Time? Country?

[Vantlicht]

Normally Berber fibulas are not marked at all. However this one is marked with a buste to the right. Does somebody recognize this mark?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

The mark is Tunisian. The 'head' mark is the guarantee mark used on small objects that are at least 800/1000 silver.

Yes, 2nd contoured right-facing adult Tunisian head limited warranty 800 minimum, with the possibility that the fineness could actually test higher. Tunisian domestic silver hallmark used 1942-2005.
