A lovely old traditional Afghan Kuchi pendant. It is made of gilded silver and lively small glass cabochons. The decoration is particularly appealing and it is embellished with chained dangles. The Kuchi people, from the Persian -koch- meaning migration, are Afghan pashtoons nomads divided in a number of tribes that inhabit areas of Afghanistan and, to a lesser extent, Pakistan. Their jewellery is quite often very colourful using silver, glass and, in some fewer cases, enamel. Mid-XXth century or earlier.
