Pendant: Archaic Chinese Silver/Bronze with custom gold
Probably part of a ceremonial vessel, this silver or silver clad bronze piece has subtle hints of red and green from the cuprite and malachite that remain on the surface. Featuring a cloud form decoration, it comes from China and dates to around the 4th or 5th century B.C.
The custom gold fitting, in 18k, imitates this cloud form with a later variation. Gold work is by Blue Heron Jewelers. approximately 6.2 cm. in length, 1.5 cm wide.
