Pendant

Description

Pendant. A flat rectangular hollow box. The necklace was used as a women’s ornament and also served as a talisman. Paper prayers were placed inside the hollow plates. The front part of the pendant is decorated with two oval-shaped casts with red-coloured translucent glass inserts. Between the two casts is a convex vertical oval, the edges of which are adorned with five triangular designs made using false granulation. The edges of the pendant and the casts are framed with an ornamental pressed ribbon. A geometric pattern is applied over the translucent glass. Two metal loops are soldered to the upper edges, four loops to the lower edges, and one loop on the right side.
