Antique 16k Gold Stained Horn Figa Charm

Here is another very special Victorian fist pendant carrying a group of delightful charms.


Made of natural dark stained horn and mounted on a stunning embellished 16k rose gold cap, the hand has detailed 16k gold nails and is grasping an embellished 16k gold half ring (no hallmarks - acid tested positive as 16k gold).



The figa is grasping five small charms. Antique fists are often carrying a mixture of original and later addition charms:

1. a miniature antique natural coral horn with metal details

2. a Victorian miniature stained horn figa with 18k gold details (acid tested positive as 18k gold)

3. a Victorian primitive carved bone fish with 9k gold bail (acid tested positive as 9k gold)

4. a Victorian natural beetle horn with 9k gold details (acid tested positive as 9k gold)
5. another miniature antique natural coral horn with metal details.



In good antique/used condition, the Mano Fico has some signs of age - to which in my opinion only add to its true timeless magic. (Antique items are always pre-worn and will typically have some level of wear). Please refer to images for condition and further details.



The hand pendant measures approximately 6.5 cm (including the bail and charms) by 1.6 cm.
It weighs approximately 6.3 grams.



The chain on image 7 is just used as a reference. 



This is a typical example of a charm figa that has been treasured, loved and used through out its life time.

It’s sold as exactly as it was purchased from an estate sale in Europe together with a group of other antique hand pendants.
