CAPTIVATING ANTIQUE
AMBER PENDANT WITH SCORPION & CHAIN
(Ref:4458)
An Impressive, and Rare Quality
Antique Silver Amber Pendant with a Scorpion inside.

It is a pale colour, and its legs and articulated tail are very clearly
visible.

even be a species that no longer exists. A Wonderful talking point.
(Very Jurassic Park –it may become possible to retrieve the DNA from
it!)

inches, convex at the front and flat at the back.
The frame is ornate Silver, with filigree butterflies all around, six in
total. The top has an embossed flower, possibly a Rose.
