Extremely Rare Islamic Ottoman 18K Gold Enamel God & Muhammed Museum Quality Quran Charm Pendant !The pendant is 19th centuryOttoman. Weighs approximately 2.9 grams. The Quran dimensions are approximately 2.05 x 1.75 x o.5 cm (13/16 x 10.5/16 x 3.5/16 inches) excluding the attachment basel. Such pendants would only be seen in Museums, and if any are still left in circulation they would be handed down from mother to daughter or father to son. The charm is missing an attachment loop and the bottom seal drawer as well as some chipped enamel as seen in the photos, how-ever most of these issues could be repaired by a fine jeweler, but I prefer to handle museum quality items in their original condition. There are many modern made copies in the market, and these pendants are intended to encompass a miniatureQuranor aQuranpassage, intended for protection and good luck. The front of the pendant charm readsAllahwhich isArabic for God, and the other side of the charm, in beautifulIslamiccalligraphy, it is writtenMuhammad. The craftsmanship is superb, where the sides that are supposed to have the pages, the gold gives that impression ! This beauty is hand crafted and would make a beautiful addition to anyIslamic collection, pendants do not get moreIslamicthan this, for inIslam calligraphyishalal,kosher, so this beauty istrue toGod!
