Necklace - Saudi Arabia

This is an unusual piece. The center piece can be opened and would have contained a prayer or some pieces with amuletic powers. A pure Bedouin piece, that has lived!

  • A lovely old piece, Peter, ... and unusual to be able to open the pendant. Was it sealed like a hirz or can the owner open it at any time?

  • Dear Peter,What can I say, again such an elegant piece will grace any woman.  I do have a pendant like that from Ethiopia, but cannot open,and the bells are smaller. It came hanging attached  to the famous large cresent (banana) necklace. GR. Ingrid.

  • Dear Thelma and Ingrid,

    Many thanks for your message. The pendant can be opened. I am attaching below a photo of the opened pendant, which is unfortunately empty.

    With kind regards.

    Peter
