  • This is heavenly, old or new?
  • Thank you Patricia,

    It is not new and was used when I bought it in 1997 but I really don't know how old it could be.

    I have been unable to find information about these pieces but the traders in Shibam were very familiar with the design. I added more info with the detailed picture of the pendant.
