    Incredible... Perfect example of mis categorized EBay auction!!!

    Sold for vintage Asian warrior pendant, plus blurry pics! A bargain :-))

    He is enameled silver, foiled stones or pastes, a real pearl dangle.

    The dragon's wing moves!

    Back is very beautifuly enamelled too.

    I have to identify age with the marks, but think it is around 1880.

    HUGE :
    total length: 3.1/4"
    width: 2"
    Weight: 37 grams

    Thanks for looking, loving and commenting :-D

      Could the mark be HB, for Hermann Boehm?
    8. Bluboi Bluboi, 9 years ago
      Amazing find! I don't know if I like the back or the front better! Great hunting Kyra.
    9. kyratango kyratango, 9 years ago
      BelleEpoque, thank you, you're right the mark is HB!

      A wonderful piece! Congratulations!

      Hey Kyra, glad I could help :)
      Böhm did wonderful enamel work, and his pieces were very much revivalist. So it's possible that yours is trying to immitate an older style, like the one on the link. I have a very modest (but pretty) pendant by him, and the bale is quite similar to yours... that's why I suspected it might be by him.

      Wowza. So much going on, Beautiful workmanship. I looked at the back first, thinking it was the front - d'uh - it left me confused because I couldn't find the dragon. Double d'uh.
    24. kyratango kyratango, 8 years ago
      Totally agree with you Gilian!
      I'm still amazed to get it and by all the workmanship it shows.
      Thank you for your input!

      This is beautiful!
    29. kyratango kyratango, 3 years ago
      Eileen, thank you! Your find must be outstanding and rare!
      For sure knowledge is the key to get those when the seller doesn't search for what he has... Not forgetting the luck others don't see it before you ;-))

      Raven, thank you for your lovely visit and comment :-)
