    Just looking for a rough age for these pretty please if anyone has a clue? I've amazed myself and found out that the mark on these is Jawi script from Kelantan Malaysia. Go me! Think the black/brown inlay is horn. Love these I think they're amazing. Thank you. thumbnail_IMG_20220528_140937.jpg thumbnail_IMG_20220528_141009.jpg thumbnail_IMG_20220528_141110.jpg thumbnail_IMG_20220528_141215.jpg thumbnail_IMG_20220528_141026.jpg

    The hallmarks on the back look like they're in Arabic. Not Egyptian, but elsewhere in the area.

    Gorgeous! I would have bought them too. They are shaped like classic Javanese ear jewels for royals, only with added horn and dangles.
    @crazycatlady is absolutely right, the mark is for Kelantan silver, Malaysia. I have a few Kelantan pieces myself.

    Arabic script is used from Morocco on the Atlantic coast all the way to the east, the Philippines, bordering the Pacific. Jawi ("pertaining to Java") is a modified Arabic script that is originally Javanese, but is used in both Indonesia and Malaysia.
