Description from the seller
Devotional pendant – tested 18K gold setting – miniature on porcelain
Oval pendant with bail, mount acid-tested “18K” (see acid test mark on the stone). It is adorned on the obverse with a miniature on porcelain depicting the Virgin Mary in the clouds, surrounded by small angels (Marian iconography of the Assumption- Immaculate Conception
The decoration is executed on a porcelain disc (polychrome miniature), protected by its setting. The whole is a devotional object worn as a pendant (or added to a rosary), typical of religious productions intended for private devotion.
The inscription on the reverse is in German, which clearly points to a German-speaking origin: Southern Germany / Austria / Bavaria (or more broadly the German-speaking Catholic area).
Explanation of the back (translation)
Reverse with calligraphic text: “HOLY MARY / MOTHER OF GOD / PRAY FOR US!”
Translation: 'Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!'
It is a form of prayer seeking Marian intercession.
