Description from the seller

Large Turkmen Mixed-Metal Cross Pendant with Filigree, Gilding, and Inlaid Stones

A large-scale Turkmen cross-shaped pendant, finely handcrafted from mixed metals in an intricate traditional technique. The surface is richly decorated with delicate filigree scrolls and ornate patterns characteristic of Central Asian craftsmanship.

The pendant is inlaid with colored glass and semi-precious stones, including turquoise, carnelian, and green agate, all set in precise inlay work that creates a striking contrast between the base, the gilded highlights, and the vivid stones. Central and lower raised elements are adorned with fire gilding, featuring a decorated medallion and a sunburst floral motif, both enhancing the pendant’s ceremonial presence and grandeur.

Dimensions: 9x6.8
