<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 573611, member: 2844&quot;]Very interesting, Cheryl, thanks for posting it. </p><p>I saw a documentary on the Iranian Mandaeans a while back. Most of those who haven&#039;t migrated yet seem to be contemplating it. A sad developement after thousands of years. That amazing Middle Eastern diversity is slowly vanishing, it will leave the region culturally poorer.</p><p><br /></p><p>The same photo, it looks like the Liverpool site used the one from the Exeter site.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> From what I can see on the photos of his work, the themes are slightly different from Iraqi niello, no Marsh Arab meeting houses for instance. And a lot of exuberant palm trees.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have a brooch similar to the silver chained filigree pendant, bottom left on the page. It came in an auction lot and I knew it came from the Middle East somewhere, it seems it could be Mandaean?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
