....the silver and silver-enamel beads and pendants were strung up just for showing here, and I thought, the venetians in green will match...all silver-enamel beads and pendants were made in Morocco, some new, some older(30 or 40 years, I would guess...), but not antique...the „Southern Cross“ (hmmm...Steven Stills...) in center is an older one, without knowing the age...I do not know about origin or age of all silver beads next to the Venetians....Morocco, other African places, India....?!...the round beads with brown „equator“ could be from Niger, where they combinate ebony, copper, brass and other metals with silver...in center of the picture is a „tcherot“ pendant or talisman box, 110x114mm, made of various metals (no silver), possibly from Mauritania...., and I don´t think it´s old...and I didn´t found the right background in combination with light...the close ups are better....
