Ethnic Jewelry Photo Album (8 of 16) Well documented, yet highly uncharacteristic gilt silver filigree (Bird) necklace from San'a, Yemen. Even the motifs of birds and hands, hearts, stars, and crescents with a bow tie pendant are uncharacteristic.
According to sources, these necklaces were few in number and produced by a single smith, Meysha Al-Abyadh, in the period from 1930 to 1940.  |
