the fish in the left is a hypocampus,it is a lucky fish and people at the coasts and fishers, have it in wallets as luck talisman.moe commun in specialy in tunisia
the kife is a typical northafrica too. more commun for in marocco as the koumia called
the fish near the knife is a bass kind only in some tunisian rivers and oases to find. it is a ctualy the evidence that sahara was not a deert before some 1000 ds of years. it prouves that the rivers in north and central africa were connected, the transformation of some areas to sahara made the cut and some fishes from the same family lives in the north of sahara other ones south from sahara
i guess the pendant after it is a drunk octopus,
the khamssa is more tunisia area
the dove looks maroccan to me
the star and halfmond to find in all northafrica but this looks moretunisia,
the khanssa looks maroccan but the form tunisia, the chines maroccan
so, i agrre that it is a mix or pendants added later on
Thanks all, for such valuable information. Ait, you are a mine of knowledge. How fascinating to track a piece through all the symbology.
