Antique Turkmen Tribal Jewelry Button Pendant

Classic Antique Turkmen Tribal Jewelry - Handcrafted Gold-gilded Silver Button Pendant with 5 Beads set in raised bezels. The eye-shape center bead is a traditional detail in much Tribal Jewelry from Central Asia - intended to ward off any evil eye directed towards the wearer. 

The incised designs in the silver of stylized bird wings are highlighted by the gold-gilding for added emphasis...the overall effect is of a 4-cornered patterned, a tribute to the 4 directions and 4 sacred elements of fire, air, earth, and water. A warm age patina remains intact, especially on the reverse side. 

A center bail on the back is perfect for making a necklace with your favorite chain, ribbon, or cord...or for attaching to a garment, headpiece, or hair with a pin or a few sewn stitches. 

Beautifully handcrafted collectible, wearable antique Turkmen Tribal Jewelry Button Pendant.
