@ Marie Ange .........Thank you

Veeery nice, thank you Sarah.

It feels very balanced, no over callygraphy and some nice zoomorphic touches (the birds)

I can only read the text between the bales wich is the "basmalah" : b-ismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīmi, "In the name of god, most gracious, most merciful "

Other text seems to be verses from the Quran but i can't read it

I understand why you treasure this and enjoy wearing it.

Hi Sarah,

I found the same pendant with different danglers in "Oppi Untracht" page 111.

Have a look!

M-A :)

Hi Sarah, I love this amulet! Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing...(unless you're selling, and I would be very interested in becoming it's next owner) :)

Hope all is well with you,

Lynne

Hi Lynne,

I can fully understand why you would like to own it, but I I shall be keeping this beautiful pendant. It was a gift and I treasure it.

Warmest wishes

Sarah
