Antique Yemeni Amulet Pendant
£55.00
Antique low-silver Yemeni amulet pendant. This decorated amulet may be small but the dangles are very long and attract attention to the piece. The jangling of the bells is believed to ward off all evil and provide protection for the wearer.
Red glass cabochons like this one are often used in Yemeni jewellery to bring good health to the wearer, especially during childbirth. An eye-catching piece, made early 20th century.
