Looks like the necklace Peter Hoesli recentedly posted on November 9th 2014: https://ethnicjewels.ning.com/photo/necklace-ottoman
Maybe this is a part of a similar necklace? It is possible to open the case on one side if you take off the metal silver bar (this is not easy to do).
It's beautiful. Congratulations!
Gorgeous and not often seen, Joanne. I would also say Iraq/Kurdish.

Thank you, Lynn, Peter, Betty and Ait for your nice comments ! Your pictures are very interesting Ait. Yes, it looks like my container, also with Arabic text. I think you can find these types of amuletcontainers in several Islamic countries. I have a picture of an amuletholder like yours (without dangles ) with the provenance: Iran or Afghanistan.. The chain and dangles on my necklace are more common in the Kurdistan area.
