ملاحظات	The traditional jewellery of the Syrian region, which incorporated much of Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon as well as Syria itself in the 19th century, shows influences from a wide range of sources, reflecting Syriaâs strong trading traditions and central location. The jewellery worn in towns, which is often Ottoman in style, is frequently very different from that worn by the nomadic Bedouin, whose characteristic silver jewellery is much better known today. This pendant was described as a â hirz â when it was acquired by the Museum. The word â hirz â means an amulet case, and refers to the triangular plaque at the top which is shaped like the most common type of traditional amulet case. Although there is no possibility that this piece could have contained an amulet, the shape alone was considered sufficient to act as a defence against evil powers. It was bought for two shillings and six pence at the International Exhibition, London, in 1872, as an example of traditional Syrian jewellery.
Malzemeler ve teknikler	Silver-plated metal chain and discs Plated
Fiziksel açıklama	Pendant of silver-plated metal, consisting of a triangle of sheet metal covered with applied rings of twisted wire. Five of the rings along the bottom edge are pierced to hold loose rings from which hang open loop-in-loop chains. Each chain ends in a disc pendant, and there are more disc pendants attached at three points along its length. There is a loop at the top of the triangle which holds a suspension ring.
