Vintage tribal statement necklace in the Afghan/Kuchi style.
The pendant is built around a 1977 Pakistan 1 rupee coin commemorating the centenary of the poet Allama Iqbal (1877–1977). It hangs from multi-strand genuine freshwater rice pearls with green heishi beads and two engraved floral barrel beads.
The hand-forged hangers carry a cascade of dangles:
• green glass stone set in a flower
• leaf and spoon-shaped drops
• red hand-beaded disc
• pearl and green bead drops
Fastens with an S-hook clasp and brass flower spacers.
Base metal with a silver tone and natural age patina, consistent with vintage handmade tribal pieces.
About this piece
A striking mixed-media piece in the Kuchi tradition, built around a 1977 Pakistan 1 rupee commemorative coin honouring poet Allama Iqbal. The pendant suspends from multi-strand genuine freshwater rice pearls interspersed with deep green heishi beads and two hand-engraved silver-toned barrel beads cast with floral detail.
From the pendant hangs an exuberant cascade of vintage charms: green glass stone set within an openwork flower, leaf and spoon-shaped drops, a hand-beaded red disc, and pearl-and-bead dangles. The hand-forged silver-toned base metal shows honest age patina throughout, consistent with authentic handmade tribal work. Fastens with a simple S-hook clasp and brass flower spacers. A bold, wearable statement piece with genuine historical and cultural interest.
