Kazakh two part pendant

Posted by Linda Pastorino on December 7, 2011 at 5:15am

upper or middle portion of a Onirzhiek pectoral consisting of usually three portions attached by chains. the lower drops were probably added to make the fragment more wearible, and would have come off of perhaps whole pectoral. This is still a good solid old fragment. Unfortunately what dealers do is try and maximize a larger less commercial piece by taking it apart and breaking it into components. This has very good age and patina. Mangyshlak region Kazkahstan 19th cThis was part of my own collection and is now being offered for sale.
