AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
22-karat gold necklace is a product of traditional Punjab craftsmanship, a historic region divided between India and Pakistan. The central pendant depicts a Hindu deity, probably the goddess Lakshmi (goddess of luck and wealth) or Shri, often represented seated on a lotus. Similar pendants are found in religious talismans and Indian historical coins, such as those from the Gupta period. The chain is made of large links, lacquer-filled, in gold with a hammered surface, typical of the Punjabi folk style used on festive occasions or for traditional dances such as Bhangra or Gidda. Surrounding it are 3 important rubies of about 0.20 carats each. Gold weight approximately 48 grams. The lot will be carefully packed and shipped with contracted couriers. For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not made.
