[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 323914, member: 2844"]It is beautiful lennyt. I'm sure it will look stunning once you've polished it a bit. Just a question, is that small indentation on the corner a mark or just a small dent? If it is a mark, could you take a focused picture of it? So far I see no specific Persian/Iranian marks, but the national marks were not always used. It could be the Syrian - Iraqi cultural area. Known for the manufacture of excellent pieces. The styles are related to Persian styles. The top mark is for .800 silver. There is a crescent moon with the mark, which could mean this was made during the Ottoman occupation of the region, pre-1920. There is no Turkish Tughra mark. Iran was never occupied by the Ottoman Turks. The lower mark is probably the maker's mark. Maybe our new Jordanian member [USER=6554]@Mohammad H[/USER] can read it. Mohammad, can you help us please.[/QUOTE]
