A Silver prayer box pendant, known as a "Hirz" was typically part of a woman's wedding regalia, and the intricate silver techniques were perfected by silver smiths before World War II.  These pendants usually show a fair amount of wear, likely from being a much-loved piece of jewelry.  As such, many of the designs at each end -- along with the silver itself -- have worn down over the decades. Handmade by local Artisans and typically decorated with colorful enamel.
Sometimes referred to as amulet or talisman due to fact that it might have had a prayer put inside of it for protection.
