Moroccan Bronze Coin Pendant Featuring Six-Pointed Star

Six-pointed star on a dark disc, snugly set in a polished frame with little knobs.

This bronze coin pendant featuring a six-pointed star is from Morocco, North Africa, and is ca. 1286. It is bronze & sterling silver. Coins have been worn as pendants for centuries in North Africa, and the old metal of a coin is often mounted in silver for wear. Round pendant with a bright, thick rim and three small ball-shaped studs at the lower edge. The center disc is dark and weathered, with a raised six-pointed star and a central dot. A smooth loop sits at the top. It is 1.25 inches high and 1 in diameter.

Old face, new frame, and an extremely tidy fit.
