Fiziksel açıklama
An off-white, semi opaque pendant of tear drop-shaped agate, coarsly framed with black (silver?) metal. The sides of the frame are tooled with a diagonal stripe and the front is set with a punched line. The two holes at the top of the metal frame are decorated with tooled quatrefoils. The agate is finely engraved with Surah 1 (Al Fateha) from the Koran, within the bold bands of the invocation 'O Mohammad'. The field decorated with a scrolling foliate design. Possibly Iran, c.1750-1850.
