I believe that this is Middle Eastern, perhaps Kurdish? Metal alloy or very low grade silver.

Very old. Interesting piece. What do you think this could have been Hillary?

Hi Chantal, I think that this was strung with other beads on a necklace.

Do you have a side view of it? It may be an end-of-braid ornament. I agree possibly Kurdish or Syrian.
