Buyer's Premium:

A Tunisian Silver Talismanic Hand Necklace.

A finely crafted silver necklace featuring an intricately designed hand-shaped pendant. The pendant, with delicate filigree work, showcases circular and floral motifs, common in Tunisian talismanic jewellery. This piece likely served a protective or symbolic purpose, as the hand symbol is often used in North African and Middle Eastern cultures for warding off the "evil eye" or bringing good fortune.
