    a nice , hand carved ivory pendant or medallion With a red stone in center which might be a garnet, but I'm not sure about that.
    the tiny hand-carved details of the ivoryshould have been executed by an erbach workshop, where most of the german ivory carvings has been made in the past.
    unfortunately it is damaged but still worth showing i thought...
    i'm not sure about the age

      My guess would be 1900-1920. Nice piece!!

      This is a lovely pendant. I'd say German, they were great at this type of work. Circa 1900 as BelleEpoque suggests. Jugendstil.

      Lovely detailed carving, the stone is certainly a rhodolite garnet, agree for the period too.
      The damage doesn't detract its beauty, still wearable and desirable!
