Bedouin Hair / Temporal Ornament, possibly from the Galilee or Nablus, with coins, hamsas and chains.
As seen in the reference books, Palestinian Costume, p. 196 (Shelagh Weir).
Sourced in the Old city of Jerusalem, originally from a long-time shop whose owner had passed away and inventory had been sold to neighboring vendors.
Circa 1930's-1940's approximately.
72 grams. 20 cm 8 inches in length.
Some photos show temporal pendant with verdigris. Existing pendant in stock does not have verdigris and has a little more decoration in top element, but is otherwise matching. Was purchased at same time but hoarded! See photos with gray background.
