Generous in size and studded with channel and bezel set stones, this is a glorious Matilde Poulat cross whether you wear it as an expression of your spirituality or as a work of art. Matl's signature wirework and beading combined with the patina the pendant has developed over time make for a strong, eye-catching presence. The hand-wrought chain that it comes with is Mexican as well and of the same period (yet not a Matl piece) and I believe it complements it in the best possible way. The cross pendant measures 3 1/4" tall (not including the bail) by 2 3/8" wide and adds a 3 1/2" drop to the chain. The chain itself is 24 1/4" long and the set, together, weighs 31.6 grams (cross alone is 26.1 grams). Appropriately signed with Matl's name in script as shown and with Eagle 129 assay mark the pendant dates in the 1950s when Poulat was still active. The chain bears a partial Eagle 3 mark and is also marked "SILVER". In excellent vintage condition with no flaws noted and all the stones present and accounted for.
