Antique Moroccan Silver Perfume Pendant
£165.00
An antique silver perfume pendant from the Souss Valley, Morocco, with fine chiselled workmanship. A cotton wool ball would be soaked in perfume or other aromatic substance and put into the lid. It would then often be connected to a fibula as a dangle which moved freely and allowed the pleasant scent to carry. A beautiful item.
