Necklace. Probably from northern Afghanistan, 1900-1950. Partly gilded silver with silver granulation, inserted lapis lazuli, red stones. The chain and the pendant are probably from seperate origin. The pendent (width 72 mm) looks older too, and shows Kazakh style elements. (Inv.n° müç100 -Kavak Costume Collection - Antwerpen/Belgium).
