Gorgeous Badihi handmade pendant detailed with delicate geometric patterns. The diamond-shape on the pendant represents the four mothers of Judaism. The diasy-granule pattern represents the pomegranate, which is one of the holy Seven Species of the Hebrew testament. Very gorgeous piece well over 100 years and in remarkable condition. Very good silver content.
Antique silver in Yemen was based off of Maria Theresa thaler coins which at one point were used as the official currency of Yemen. A majority of Yemenite high quality silver pieces were made by melting down Maria Theresa coins and reworked into silver pieces of jewelry that we come to know of them today.
