Persian Mina-Kari and Silver Filigree Niello Necklace

This is a detailed example of Persian (Iranian) craftsmanship, featuring three main decorative panels linked together in a bib-style arrangement. The central piece is heart-shaped, flanked by two teardrop or paisley-shaped (Boteh) side panels. Each panel is constructed from delicate silver filigree work, characterized by fine, curled silver wires that create an intricate lace-like texture. Within these filigree frames are inset black and silver niello or enamel plaques. These plaques depict traditional architectural motifs, including what appears to be a mosque or tomb silhouette in the central piece and a local sailboat (Dhow) or coastal scene on the side elements. This style is frequently associated with the artistry of the Mandaean community or the silver markets of Southern Iran (Ahvaz) and Iraq. The necklace includes a thin silver link chain. Physically, the silver shows a natural aged patina with dark oxidation in the recessed areas of the filigree, which is typical for vintage silver items of mid-20th-century origin. The craftsmanship is of high quality, demonstrating precise metalwork and steady hand-applied engraving/enamel. There are no immediate signs of structural damage or missing filigree wire, though a small rectangular tag is visible on the left side, which may be an original maker's mark or hallmarked silver tag.
