Silver pendant with tiny touch mark

[tamrock]

I've had this silver unknown grade pendant awhile now, but have been uncertain as to where it's from?. I believe it may be middle eastern, but having only this very small touch mark I'm not really finding a match to it. The design of it looks as it may represent some religious significance for a bride, protection or devotion? I think the settings could be coral? Its a nice piece of hand made silver jewelry and very well crafted. I remember it didn't cost a whole lot as these thrift stores primarily are tipped off by the marks of sterling and .925 when it comes to spotting and pricing items of pure silver alloy that end up in their hands. Hopefully you can make out the mark, as to me it just looks like a little stick figure.

I can't read the mark, but silver pendants with crescent motifs, bells hanging off them, and coral beads or cabochons are things I would expect to see on Islamic jewellery... and particularly from Uzbekistan. Like this Uzbek piece from the 1950s (here the bells are spherical):

The bells on my piece are solid and more faux looking bells. I would think the purity would likely be less than sterling. Maybe 80% ? Thanks RC

That little mark is Turkish or Egyptian. I forget which but sold these pieces before. It’s gorgeous btw.
