Product Details

 

This unique pair of matching pendants was created to decorate the sides of a high-ranking lady's headdress. Made by an Ersari Turkoman (Turkmen) craftsman in very high grade silver, set with natural orange carnelian and green glass cabochon stones. The shape mimics a stylized turtle symbolizing renewal and abundant femininity. The pendants are each set with five long dangles in the shape of leaves, a typical Ersari motif.

Lenticular or eye-shaped carnelians are common decorations in Central Asian fine jewelry, believed to protect the wearer from the evil eye. 

This tribal pendant pair is an excellent example of Ersari Turkmen jewelry - it is particularly difficult to find intact pairs that have not been split up for sale. They are very wearable, including as a magnificent pair of tribal earrings (however you would have to be sed to wearing a heavy earring). The patina and wear of the silver and the stones are in keeping with a known age of early 20th century. Collected by Kashgar founder Bernard Heaphy in Afghanistan in the 1980's.

  • Match pair of tribal pendants
  • Perfect for wear as very large earrings
  • High grade silver - equivalent to 925 silver
  • Very collectable Central Asian tribal jewelry
  • Early 20th century age

Measurements:

Total height including dangles 14 cm (5.5 in)

I am happy to add hooks if you would like them converted into earrings.
