Title: North African Silver Necklaces
Description: Two attractive and wearable North African necklaces of fine silver. One has a large amber or carnelian jewel in an elaborately-decorated, rectangular silver pendant, with glass bead spacers, while the other has a cage-like cylindrical pendant, with two amber beads among the silver. Both are illustrated in the NNP edition, https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/541824?page=386, top two on left. While not a medium of exchange per se, silver jewelry was a woman's own property, which she retained in the event of an Islamic divorce; it was her personal wealth.
