Translation assistance on Afghani necklace
 
Hello. I have a friend that works at a local museum and this item is in their collection and they were hoping for translation assistance. I mentioned Insee the word Allah regularly throughout the medallion so not sure if there are other words or phrases. Thanks in advanced for any assistance you can provide.

I believe the necklace was made originally in Iran, so you probably should look for Persian translators...

A lot of necklaces...called Kirdan appear over wide regions up and down the Silk Road and I recall seeing many with fish designs on necklaces in Kabul. I imagine the catchment area includes Persian traditional work. :shrug:
