Pendant with Zoomorphic Motif

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Golden pendant with zoomorphic motif by Schiaparelli. The pendant is gold-colored, featuring a zoomorphic design with multiple curved prongs at the bottom resembling claws. It has a body that wraps around to form the top part, with two long, thin extensions that cross over each other, likely representing antennae or feelers. On top, there are decorative elements including what appears to be a bird-like creature. The pendant sits on a white surface.
