    This interests me more from a scholarly perspective than aesthetically. I hope you won't mind my saying this, and I may later change my mind and feel that I misjudged it as art. But I don't think I would ever find it uninteresting!

    Ha Joost, I do not mind at all...and besides, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. (although these really are not that spectacular) Interesting, that they certainly are!

    Hi Sigrid, is this pendant on Ebay similar to yours? 
    Item number: 400161661030
    M-A ;)

    Hi Marie-Ange, It is a zar-amulet and similar to some of my zar-amulets (http://www.bedouinsilver.com/jewelry-from/jewelry-from-egypt/zar-je...), but not to this one. These are really rare, but if you see anything vaguely like it, I am always interested!

    dank je wel!

    Thanks Sigrid, yes if I find anything I think looks similar will send it to you.

    Wish I would live closer to you and I would come and follow your classes.

    Groetjes Marie-Ange.
