It looks like a wall hanging but I cannot confirm. Or is it worn. I would like to know which area this comes from and is there a special purpose for it. It is a real beauty the red stones have a very nice contrast.
Very nice! looks like a cerimonial (maibe marriage) Necklace, i would say the stones are Ambar, and its made of several metals: Silver, Copper, or some mixed alloy, the craft and design look North African, i would wild guess Berber Saharian.
The center tubular element looks like it has a top. Is it removeable? If so, could hold a Muslim prayer. Another location could be the tribal peoples of Pakistan, India, etc.
What an interesting thing no matter its intended purpose! Can you share its approximate size??
some sort of badawa prayer scroll syrian ? yemen ?
