Description from the seller
Devotional pendant – tested gold mount 18 K – miniature on porcelain
Oval locket with bail, tested with acid “18K” (trace of testing on the stone). It is adorned on the obverse with a miniature on porcelain representing the Virgin Mary in the clouds, surrounded by small angels (Marian iconography of the type Assumption– Immaculate Conception).
The decoration is made on a porcelain disc (multicolored miniature), protected by the mount. The whole is a devotional object worn as a pendant (or added to a rosary), typical of religious productions intended for private piety.
The inscription on the reverse is in German, which clearly points to a German-speaking origin: Southern Germany / Austria / Bavaria (or more broadly the Catholic Germanic area).
Explanation of the back (translation)
Reverse with calligraphed text: “HEILIGE MARIA / MUTTER GOTTES / BITTE FÜR UNS!”
Translation: “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!”
This is a Marian intercessory prayer formula.
Photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. They allow you to assess its condition and features. Please examine them carefully before any purchase.
The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number to ensure fast and secure delivery.
