OLD AND WELL-EXECUTED SILVER TCHEROT OR AMULET, of silver sheet and wire, is strung on braided leather, possibly goat hide; it is from Agadez, Niger, and the amulet is reputed to be one hundred and fifty years old. The front, three-stepped engraved portion is one piece of sheet forged on the anvil, with a small dome in the center; the back is cold-joined to the front by folding over the edges. A considerable number of tcherot utilize a three-stepped configuration. It is finely engraved on the front and is 14cm long, not including the wire loops.
