Pendant - Saudi Arabia

Posted by Peter Hoesli on December 2, 2016 at 8:13am

Yesterday, when visiting one of the shops in Souk Al Zal, I asked the vendor to show me exceptional pieces as I was familiar with his standard window displays! He was laughing went back to his shop and brought back a box, filled with plastic bags containing fancy jewelry, all tossed around and mixed with each other. I told him off as he put similar looking earrings all mixed together. It took me ages to work through this inventory, which of course was a delight. Anyhow, among others, I found this unusual pendant. Even the seller was surprised about it as he could not remember it from before....I will post other finds shortly...
