    Very beautiful, any maker marks on the plaques?

    Thank you for the comments.  The coins are dated 1872, our calendar, 1293, A.H. It came just this way from Yemen from a dealer that was acting as our agent some years ago.  It has a patina of wear on the silver and a brighness that may bespeak a higher content of silver than many of our other pieces.  The small medallion pendants are of a lower quality silver, more Bedouin in type, in my opinion. 

    The necklace is available at http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/craftsofthepast/4246801/
