For your consideration is a rare gorgeous Badihi handmade multi-pendant & multi-strand necklace. The necklace's main pendant with the other two side (or corner) pendants are rare Badihi handmade pendants. The necklace is embellished with antique African trade red beads, antique Yemenite silver stacked granule beads, Ottoman-era bakelite beads and antique Yemenite handmade silver beads.
The center and corner pendants were handmade by the renown Badihi silversmiths who, like the Bowsani, were among the top silversmiths of pre-1930 Yemen. This necklace more than qualifies as a museum quality. Just the center & corner pendants alone are quite rare.
