Antique Yemenite Jewish Bowsani Filigree Rosette PendantYear:
1900
Size:
110 mm x 60 mm x 10 mm
Origin:
Sana’a, Yemen
For the pleasure of your eyes is a rare original Yemenite Jewish Bowsani silver filigree pendant. I'm absolutely awed by this pendant. It's heavy with massive silver filigree work on a silver filigree base. Additional silver filigree leaflets and bobbles dangle from the base of the pendant.
Pieces as these were last made over 100 years ago using primitive tools and the brilliant minds of the Yemenite Jewish Bowsani family of silversmiths. They dominated the silver industry in Yemen until they eventually migrated to Israel by the late 1940s.
Museum quality piece.
