[QUOTE="KSW, post: 4493833, member: 8708"]Purchase from a table of modern costume at the antiques fair, the seller said she didn’t know anything about it. Google keeps throwing up Afghan search results but mainly with longer chains on the dangles. Any ideas please as to where it comes from or if it’s interesting or just a tourist souvenir? There is some black stuff inside it presumably to keep it solid, it tests as silver but not convincingly sterling so maybe low grade. The rings have been worn thin on the dangles so it’s been well worn. Also the rings attaching the dangles are interesting as they are knotted not soldered or just plain rings. There was no chain on it and it was black with dirt. Any ideas please? [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] or [USER=36]@evelyb30[/USER] this may be right up your street. Thanks for looking :) [ATTACH=full]392086[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]392087[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]392088[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]392089[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]392090[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]392091[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]392092[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]392093[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]392094[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
