My bad-it’s 950 (first saw 970) but still used by Mexico and it looks Mexican. AJ if it is higher grade silver (950) would India or other Asian...
The turquoise looks Mexican to me but the lack of stamping throws me. On the other hand assuming (I usually don’t assume a whole lot) it is 970,...

Waiting for AJ to identify. My first guess would have been Afghani but could be Nomadic African. Very cool. Are you sure it’s not a lower grade...
Agree definitely Asian although I’ll defer to others on actual origin. Sadly the market is flooded with this stuff. BTW it IS Southwestern style....
