    Beautiful. I noticed also the small corral beads on the dangles, I have two bracelets of Uzbekistan with dangles done with small corral beads.  Again beautiful prayerbox.

    Love this rich adornment - especially the nijello enameling. Could the odd one out coin in the bottom middle have come from Afghanistan? It looks a lot older to me then the other coins.
