Pendant and slide
Unknown Maker
Two pieces of peasant jewelry of very thin gold stamped out in a design of flowers, leaves and scrolling stems and ornamented with brilliants. A: the pendant, which is horizontal, and oval in shape with a loop at the top and a triangular piece attached by a link at the bottom. One brilliant is missing. B: the slide, roughly heart-shaped. Both pieces are convex.
