  • Dear Nada,
    Please have a look at the two photos of Palestinian Head decorations. There are many similarities. Of course, the Ottoman Empire inspired the jewelry of the Levant and hence also Palestine. I would therefore give your lovely ornament an Ottoman origin.
    With kind regards.

  • Thank you Peter and Lynn.  The Palestinian head decorations certainly have things in common with this pendant. The ring decoration on the back especially.  It's great Peter that you have a wide variety of Palestinian jewelry. It is an interesting less known area.

    Lynn, I would love to see a picture of the Saba' Arwah that you have!
