Small is Beautiful. One can appreciate just how much care and attention the silversmith has used in making these small jewels. Lovely photo.
Thank you, Thelma. I totally forgot to add description...
Thanks to Waqar and Angeli Eder I have meanwhile learned that they are most likely rather rare and old children's amulets from Turkmen people in Iran. The larger one is about 5.7 cm long, the smaller one is 4.5 cm. 25 grams together. I love them a lot!
