The 1800s Silver Antique Galilee Samaka Amulet Necklace with Niello Details
🐟 Our namesake ❤️
A super rare treasure from the mid to late 1800s, this fish amulet necklace was traditionally worn across Palestine, Jordan, and the Upper and Lower Galilee. The fish is a powerful regional symbol representing fertility, abundance, and spiritual protection deeply rooted in Levantine cultural heritage.
The silver pendant features fine niello work, an historic technique where engraved silver is inlaid with a darkened alloy to highlight intricate patterns and contrast. An assortment of coins dangles from the bottom of the fish.
Suspended on a sturdy chain typical of jewelry from Palestine and Jordan in the 19th century, this piece reflects masterful craftsmanship and enduring symbolism.
Wear it as a talisman of blessing or cherish it as a rare piece of ancestral history preserved in silver.
✨ PLEASE NOTE✨

Nothing is perfect, and that’s exactly the charm of vintage and antique clothing. We encourage you to read descriptions carefully and reach out with any questions before purchasing.
