Vintage Mauritanian Heart Pendant with Crescent and Star, Filigree - Rita Okrent Collection (P934)

RARE FIND: only one in our inventory

A 3-dimensional hollow heart pendant with openwork filigree on all sides, adorned on one side with a crescent and star. Granule cluster tip at the point and filigree bail.

Why We Love It
The combination of heart, crescent, and star on one piece is a striking bit of symbolic layering. 
Filigree work covering the entire amulet gives it real presence with the granule cluster tip and filigree bail marking it as characteristic Mauritanian work.
Hollow construction keeps it substantial yet comfortably lightweight to wear. 

Provenance: Mid-20th century Mauritanian origin.

Dimensions: 5.67 cm (2.23 in) tall x 4.53 cm (1.78 in) wide x 1.56 cm (0.61 in) deep. Weight 12.18 grams.

Condition: Good condition.
