A beautifully crafted late Victorian figa pendant, carved from natural bone and decorated with solid 9k gold accents. It has a case with a fixed a slim chain bracelet, and individually applied gold nails that give the hand remarkable character and detail.
Held between the fingers is a natural coral rose, a motif often associated with affection, gentleness, and spiritual protection. When combined with the traditional Mano Fico gesture, used throughout southern Europe as a symbol of defence and good fortune, the result is a pendant that carries both symbolic meaning and visual charm.
This pendant came from an Italian antique dealer, purchased together with four similar bone figas holding coral roses. Two have already been sold in my shop, and the fourth will be listed soon.
The piece survives in good antique/used condition, showing light age-related marks consistent with its period and materials. These subtle signs of wear contribute to its authenticity and enduring appeal, please refer to the images.
