Detail of reliquary locket
Back of the locket
Very beautiful. I love the embroidered panel, so delicately done. Does the locket open?
Hello Lynn, I think Chaldean/Assyrian Christian, from southeastern Anatolia or Iraqi Kurdistan. With kind regards, JM.
Thank you everyone! Thelma, it doesn't open with a hinge but if necessary can be taken apart by peeling back a thin edge of silver (only for repairs.) I opened it only so that a repair could be done with soldering and then put everything back as it was.
Beautiful, Lynn! Congratulations.
