Omani silver Marriya necklace

 

Scarce Omani silver Marriya necklace. Nice old piece but with some of the beads missing and not with the original thicker rope. 

Several silver chains with the hand of Fatima have been connected to the Koran Box. The heavy finials are characteristic for this necklace from central Oman. Weight 275 grams.
