- Lot Description
Near East, Yemen, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A lovely necklace comprised of 64% silver pendants, beads and bells, Indian Two-Annas coins, and pink-orange copal beads all strung on cotton cords. While the Annas coins are circulated and rubbed, some have discernable 1916 and 1917 years - Annas were Indian currency used under British rule and have the bust of George V in profile. Yemen's geographical position between India and Africa created a multicultural melting pot of jewelry. The triangular terminal plaques are seen in Indian Jewelry, the central tubular capsule known as a tawiz is worn in many Islamic / Hindu cultures in South Asia, and this type of necklace was often used in Jewish rituals - presented to a girl once she reached adulthood. For many years, Yemenite silversmiths were almost entirely Jewish, and women primarily wore the jewelry as signs of status. Size of strand: 21.5" L (54.6 cm); central rectangle panel: 1.5" L x 0.9" W (3.8 cm x 2.3 cm); 64% silver; weight: 158.2 grams
Provenance: private New Mexico, USA collection

#176121Minor indentations and softening to silver beads and pendants, with some patina and dark toning. Rubbing and softening to coin faces, but somewhat discernable.
