    Dear Peter, this ornament is absolutely beautiful.  The gilding is outstanding and I love how it is still on the original necklace.  Congratulations!!

    Dear Lynn; Many thanks for your message. This necklace was apparently once part of a collection, exhibited in a museum in the USA. Sorry, I do not know which museum it was displayed. Anyhow, this necklace is mighty and in a fantastic shape. With kind regards. Peter

    Dear Peter. A beautiful piece. It's usually a dorsal ornament but it looks as if the last owner has strung it as a necklace. It looks gorgeous.
