Dating from the late 19th century, the Figa is a traditional protective talisman believed to ward off the evil eye and bring good fortune.

The pendant measures approximately 5.7 cm long (including bail) by 1.7 cm wide and weighs 15.3 grams.

The gold is unhallmarked but acid-tested positive as 18k gold.
