  • Love this!  What would this have been part of.  It reminds me of the Khrab earrings

  • My feeling is that this is a chimera, an extremely old central anti atlas finial from a tasfift style head dress paired with three Ouarzazatti khrab drops.

    All of the elements are antique, with fab patina but may have started life separately to one another

    Would be intereseted to hear other thoughts, but it makes a beautiful heavy pendant!

    so yes Khrab reference spot on!
