    This is a beautiful necklace Peter !in addition to the nice chain, the triangular shaped pendants, the niello inlay and the coins are really impressive. It is in excellent condition. This is with no doubt a museum piece. Congratulations on this find. Br

    Lovely piece, necklaces from the Levant often have triangular  elements.

    I agree with Nada, a most wonderful and soulful old necklace that belongs in a museum. Congratulations!!

    Wow, Peter. If you ever want to make a little space in your collection by selling this, please put me on your list. It is very substantial and beautiful.
