Beautiful mid-century Persian Minakari (Mina) sterling silver pendant featuring intricate, hand-painted enamel storytelling scenes on both sides. One side showcases a vibrant green border framing detailed miniature bird and floral motifs, while the reverse side opens up to a rich cobalt blue floral pattern. The entire frame is intricately crafted from hand-twisted sterling silver rope-work. The main body and attached bail test strongly for sterling silver (the top loose jump ring is a base-metal replacement). A wonderful piece of mid-20th-century Iranian artisan jewelry. See photos for exact measurements and condition.
