Description from the seller
Pendentive devotional pendant – 18 K tested gold setting – miniature on porcelain
Oval medallion with bail, acid-tested setting “18K” (trace of test 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 Assumption - Immaculate Conception)
The decoration is made on a porcelain disc (polychrome miniature), protected by the setting. 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 German-speaking Catholic area).
Explanation of the back (translation)
Back with calligraphed text: “HEILIGE MARIA / MUTTER GOTTES / BITTE FÜR UNS!”
Translation: “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!”
It is a Marian intercession prayer formula
