A very scarce double bailed pendant from the Siroua region of Morocco. Circa 1860.. I have suspended the pendant from an old Berber wedding band which I found in Tarroudant The Siroua mountains are the source of the finest Saffron.

    This is beautiful. It resembles the agate pendant on the necklace I bought from you. Love what you have done with it.
