Object History 

This item of jewellery was purchased by Dr. Reem Tariq El Mutwalli in 2021 from a social media follower who wished to remain anonymous. Dr Reem included it in The Zay Initiative collections to enhance it.

 

Object Features 

This is a Palestinian Bedouin necklace possibly from the Ottoman era.

The necklace is made of brass and possibly glass or agate beads strung in a silver chain with dangling silver coins dating back to 1327 Hijri that corresponds to c. 1909-1910 CE of the Gregorian calendar.

The coins bear the calligraphic seal (tughra) of the Ottoman Emperor Mehmed V. Although attributed to Jerusalem, this necklace resembles the (sha’riah) in style. The sha’riah necklace is typical of the Hebron neighbourhood south of the West Bank region of Palestine.
