  • What a remarkable color this is, I like it very much!

  • Thanks! The pendant is very unusual in that the turquoise is really defined and not washed out. the double headed birds also is one image that made it big in Central Asia.

  • Lovely and unusual. Fabulous colour combination. Do you know where exactly in Pakistan it is from, Linda?

  • I don't know where this is from in Pakistan.   But probably easy to find out. All my books are at home and it might  mention  color specifics etc.  I have not concentrated on these details lately due to time frame of selling things. back years ago when there was more time and less over heads I would spend alot of time researching each piece before offering it. I'm not doing that as much on the smaller items.

  • Very nice indeed, Linda. I had not seen this because we have been away from Adelaide twice in recent weeks, and I am rather "behind" with several things. But I do like this.

  • Really attractive, coming to it a second time.
