Spoon pendant

Post by JanGroen »

Good day
I recently bought this pendant. It is made of silver but i cant find any marks. Any idea where it could be from and what it use will be?
Thanks

Hi,
To compare with:The collection of North African (possibly Morocco) silver EAR SCOOPS /pendants. Unmarked, too.Most probably late 19th century.

Thank you again for help with these. Would be good to start a group for tribal, unmarked objects. Style and patterns can be used to help identify these objects.

Hello again,
The best silversmiths in North Africa are Berbers or Amazighs. I am not sure if they can be called ``a tribe``. One of the oldest nation in the world, traced back to Ancient Egypt era, mixed with Germanic tribes invading Ancient Rome colonies in North Africa. Severely oppressed during dictatorship in Libya but fortunately the situation is better now. Search for ``Berber silver jewelry``.
Regards
