[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9767966, member: 2844"]Nice folk piece. I think it is a pendant though, I don't see anything that indicates its use as an amulet. Amulets either have religious symbols or they are made as amulet cases to hold powerful texts or items. I prefer the niello necklace though, a very nice piece. Both were made using genuine old Iranian coins. The coins are of a type introduced in the 1860s, if I'm correct, but used for a long time with small differences from one period to another.
