<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 4501408, member: 10944"]This helluva doozy came into my grips yesterday. I paid up on it more than I typically would for an unknown. First hour of a sale. I’m never there that early, usually last day. So I just tossed it in my pile and crossed my fingers rather than risk thinking it over much. Looks kinda North African tribal to me. Berber? The beads look African and the amber (faux?) I know they like. I’ve had some awesome Copal amber strands from Africa. The penannular brooch on a necklace is new to me. It’s super sharp and made for real business. Glass is used on the pendant which I assume is low grade silver. It’s a cool one IMO. The Amber looks faux to me. Bakelite maybe? What say you knowledgeable folks? If not African the middle eastern?
