<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Peter Hoesli, post: 9837085, member: 15887&quot;]This is a pendant from Saudi Arabia (could also be from Yemen but I tend to Saudi Arabia). Having seen them in the Saudi Souks before in quantities, they have now become rare. They were sewn onto headdresses to act as weights during windy weather... and of course as adornments. The Maria Theresia Thaler was the official currency in many Middle Eastern and African countries, such as Sudan, Ethiopia but also Oman, etc... Plus the Thaler was used as a primary source to be melted down to manufacture jewelry for the bride. A beautiful piece, having a value of around USD 50. This is a good buy! Congratulations![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
