Talisman container
Hi,
talsimans will be an nice topic. I got these two triangular silver things, which might be a kind of ordinary jewelery or a containers to keep papers with magic spells. The dealer say it came from a chinese bride dress but i will put it in the northern african or caucasian region but i have no concrete idea about this. Dirk |

What are the measurements, Dirk ?
Is that a silver hallmark ? Can you post a close picture of it? |

The trinket to the right seems to have what could be a depiction of a bee in the middle. The trinket to the left seems to bear a letter(s) that could be Coptic or Hebrew. This would suggest a Christian or Jewish origin rather than Islamic, but nevertheless, I would suggest they are Arab.

Hello,
