Hello! I am hoping someone will be able to recognize this markings. Ty

Good evening everyone! I hope all of you are doing well and staying safe. I have this pendant and it has five dots / raindrops marking on the back, but I don't know what it means and where it is from. It looks native american to me, but I hope someone will recognize it and give me some information on it. Also, I could use your help with the stone. Thank you all in advance for all you responses and stay safe

 

Looks more Tibet or Nepal to me. @Any Jewelry ?

 

Chrysoprase and ... not a clue.

 

if those knife points are meant to mean anything.......I'm a Fruitfly !!!

 

It is Tuareg, from the Sahara region, fairly recent. The stone is probably dyed agate. They used to get stones from Idar Oberstein in Germany, but maybe they get them from China now, who knows.

Probably animal track symbolism. I have a file on Tuareg symbols, I'll see if I can find the dots.

 

Found the file, but not these particular dots. Dots in general seem to be animal eyes, not tracks. It is probably a maker's mark. Tuareg silversmithing is passed down from father to son, for countless generations.

I also saw that I have a pendant similar to yours (who knew ), but mine is on a Tuareg necklace. Mine was made by a Tuareg in Niger, where many of them live.

 

Oh lord, every time I hear Tuareg as a word I channel Rowan Atkinson.

 

Oh me too.....’smell those Tuareg campfires’
