Rare and unusual 18th century hand crafted Greek
Orthodox 22 or 24 kt yellow gold Icon pendant. The front bears a fantastic
engraved depiction of the Virgin Mary the verso an equally skilled engraving
depicting a figure possibly the Virgin Mary peaking her head out of a life size
Icon rendered in the form of a cross.
 
The round sheet of gold is reinforced and adorned
with a hand soldered solid gold rope twist border which spiral as they
flank the loop, also expertly hand worked and hand soldered into place at the
hump of the loop there is a stamped maker's mark. We have not been able to
determine the who the mark belongs to.
 
Respecting the owner's wishes we have not tested this piece, however he has assured us it is either 22 or 24kt gold. We are confident and stand by the fact that this relic may be 24kt but is at least 22kt gold, never the less would make a breathtaking addition to any fine collection. The piece measures 63.5 millimeters in height and 57.3 millimeters in width.
