A vintage finely etched tcherot, perfectly sized for a focal pendant.
Tuareg talisman boxes or "Tcherots" were worn on necklaces by Tuareg women and on Tuareg men's turbans. They contain verses of the Quran and were worn as protective amulets, for fertility and for strength. Tuareg girls are given Tcherots by their mother when they reach the age of seventeen.
Large bail on each side. Would be nice on a leather cord or paired with silver or copper spacers.
Circa mid to later 1900's. Low silver/metal combo (not sterling or high silver).
Measures 5 cm/1.97 inches high and 5.17 cm /2 inches across at widest point. Weighs 31 grams / 1.09 ounces.
