Turkman Large Pendant

Beautiful silver Turkman pendant with long dangles hanging down.  The larger stones on the pendant are carnelian, while the smaller "stones" are made mostly of glass.  A couple of the larger carnelian stones are cracked or chipped -- but still very beautiful.  The pendant is "fire gilded," which means that there is a thin gold wash decorating the piece.  The gilding is faint, but there.   The pendant measures 4 inches across and a little more than 9 inches in height, including the tassels.  Not including the tassels, the pendant measures 6 inches in height.  Interestingly, the pendent also have some real depth, measuring 4 mm in thickness.  The pendant is not light, measuring about 225 grams.
