“The Filigree skill was brought to South America and specifically Colombia during the Spanish Colonial period (late 15th century through the 18th century). The Spanish had in turn learned the skill from the Moors who had invaded and conquered the Iberian Peninsula from the 8th through the 15th centuries. The Arabs had perfected working with intricate patterns as is beautifully demonstrated in the ruins of Alambra in Granada, the final stronghold of Moorish Spain.
In the Mompox island the Filigree style was fused with the goldwork of the Sinu culture giving it the name of Filigrana (Filigree) Momposina making it very unique.
The diameter of the pendant is approx. 2 3/4" wide.
