The elongated curved shape follows the traditional \u003ci\u003ecorno\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003ecornicello\u003c\/i\u003e form, a centuries-old Neapolitan talisman believed to protect against the evil eye, attract good fortune and encourage strength, fertility and prosperity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rich salmon-orange coral has developed a wonderfully soft surface with age, while the gold mount shows a beautifully timeworn patina and irregular handmade finish, adding to its authentic antique charm rather than detracting from it. The absence of hallmarks is not unusual on small Italian devotional charms and regional jewellery of this type, especially pieces originally made for local wear rather than formal export.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn good antique condition with gentle age-related wear, tiny organic surface marks to the coral and pleasing distress to the gold casing consistent with genuine age and use.
