Lovely pendant with unique design, the paisley type enamel is so pretty against the large cabochon ball. Nice find!
Persian? It's nicely hand made. So interesting MrsT!

Nice - reminds me of a circus performer. As odd as that seems. Cirque ?
Berber people of North Africa; native in several countries, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria. Your pendant is letter Z ( in Tifinagh, their language) and it represents the freedom of the Imazighen (Berber). They are famous for excellent jewelry (cloisonné).
Google for: amazigh sign, also google for: Berber jewelry
Aztec ??
It is Berber, North Africa cloisonné. The stone in the middle is most likely coral.
