[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 888706, member: 2844"]Thank you for the extra info, Ibrahim. It is always good to know the region it was found in so we don't have to guess too much.:) Are you sure it was his? This looks like an interesting folk piece, but not of the finesse I would expect a man of your great-grandfather's prestige to own. And it is not the kind of thing you would take home as a trophy, especially since the Ottoman empire was full of precious metals and gemstones.;) Just wondering, is there any Iranian or Afghani connection in your family?[/QUOTE]
