Description from the seller
Traditional Yomut (Yamuti) Turkmen pendant dating to the first half of the 19th century (circa 1800–1850).
Handcrafted in solid silver according to Central Asian tribal jewellery techniques. The piece is set with three large natural carnelian stones, a characteristic element of Yomut Turkmen adornments, commonly used in ceremonial and dowry jewellery.
