Antique Figa, Carved Mother Of Pearl, Silver Lucky Charm, Fist, Hand Pendant, Amulet, Figa Charm, Mano Figa, Victorian Charm with Pig

A rare and  collectable Victorian era Mother of Pearl Figa pendant, featuring a delicately carved miniature pig suspended from the hand.

A truly symbolic and fascinating piece.

These remarkable figas with animal motifs are becoming increasingly hard to find, making this an extraordinary discovery.

This pendant was acquired in continental Europe and remains in its original state. The hand is beautifully carved from Mother of Pearl, mounted in an elegant silver setting, and adorned with a small turquoise cabochon. The hand grips an embellished silver bar/ring, from which the miniature pig dangles gracefully.

In good antique condition, the pendant exhibits minor signs of age, particularly on the Mother of Pearl surface, which, in my view, only adds to its character and charm. As with all antique jewellery, some wear is expected, please refer to the images for details.
