Sub-Saharan Boghdad pendant?

Amazing workmanship. This piece was made entirely without any solder. The pins in the corners and at the top extend though the body of the piece and hold it together. Probably about 700 grade silver.

This is a real beauty. Such unusual construction. Feels a bit like Tuareg work.
