Another unusual piece, Hillary.

Again, I would say Arab peninsula, Yemen. There is a more refined piece with filigree boxed shown on p. 131 in M. Ransom's book. It features the same elements and the same rather rare style of chain. It's described as coming from the governate of Ibb, Yemen.

Did you get all three pieces from the same proveance? it could mean they also hail from the same area should the former owner bought them at the same place
