Description from the seller
Exclusive silver jewel with Hispano-Muslim dirhams — Al-Andalus — 12th–15th centuries
Singular articulated jewel, entirely made in silver, crafted from a selection of square Hispano-Muslim dirham coins attributed to different historic mints of al-Andalus, including Granada, Seville, and Córdoba.
The piece brings together 11 square monetary plates, each with inscriptions in Arabic script, evoking the extraordinary cultural, artistic, and commercial wealth of medieval Muslim Spain.
The square dirhams constitute one of the most characteristic manifestations of Andalusian numismatics. Introduced during the Almohad period in the 12th century, these designs continued to be used under later dynasties, including the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, until the late 15th century.
Each element preserves its unique epigraphic decoration, with interesting variations in the strokes, the layout of the legends, and the surface finishes.
The different plates are carefully assembled with silver rings, forming a flexible, articulated jewel. Its carabiner clasp, accompanied by an adjustable chain with a spherical terminal, completes a composition of great aesthetic appeal.
The combination of silvery, golden tones and darkened surfaces enhances the Arabic characters and gives the set extraordinary personality.
Characteristics:
* Origin of the coins: Al-Andalus, medieval Spain.
* Attributed mints: Granada, Seville, and Córdoba.
* Reference chronology: 12th–15th centuries.
* Material: silver in all metal components, according to the provided data.
* Composition: 11 square plates with Arabic epigraphy.
* Assembly: articulated with silver rings.
* Closure: carabiner with extension chain and spherical terminal.
* Style: historic jewelry inspired by Hispano-Muslim culture.
A piece of great originality that blends the numismatic legacy of Al-Andalus with the elegance of artisanal jewelry, evoking the history of three of medieval Spain’s most important cities: Córdoba, Seville, and Granada.
Especially attractive for collectors of Hispano-Muslim numismatics, singular jewelry, and decorative arts inspired by Islamic aesthetics.
