Description
Rare historical cameo pendant depicting the head of Medusa, worked in yellow gold 585 / 14 Kt (tested and guaranteed).
An oval pendant with a cameo hangs from a large eyelet with a filigree decorated base in the shape of a barrel: an image of Medusa is cut into the cameo, whose gaze, it is said, turns anyone who returns it to stone. Medusa can be recognized by her snake-like hair and the two wings on her head. The elegant narrow setting is richly decorated with bead ornaments and carries a movable suspension in the shape of a bead.
A chain of your choice can be threaded through the large eyelet.
The fine pendant is crafted around 1880 in the archaeological style typical of the time and picks up on antique decorative forms and imagery
Dimensions of the pendant: 4.5 x 2.2 cm.
Diameter of the eyelet: 4,7 mm.
Cameo dimensions: approx. 18.7 x 15.5 mm.
Weight: 5,0 gram.
