Metal and enamel pendant, reverse

Posted by Jose M. Pery on December 16, 2012 at 2:53pm
Old metal pendant. Not silver though I found it interesting. Quite heavy (about 300 grms). 17 cm long (excluding loop, dangles and chain), 10 cm wide and about 4 cm deep. It cannot be open. I do not know its origin (possibly Moroccan) or use but quite decorative. Any ideas welcome

    This piece is from southern morocco most likely the village of ouled tiema. It is a very well made example. These are made by the Hamid family . The enamel colors to me. Suggest 1980's. production.
