Silver, gilded silver, cornalines and fabric, TurkmenistanDescriptionA superb and very important "coranier" decorated with beautiful silver gilt: the central tube opens to the left by a mobile termination in the shape of mosque ... the entire object is decorated with cornalines ... pieces of fabric still appear on the bottom of the amulet and enhance the hollow parts of the jewel, but also on the necklace that closes with a button.

Very nice patina!Weight:712grHeight:12,20 inchWidth:10,23inch
