The idea of the Madonna has existed since the earliest centuries of human history. She is an iconic figure and image across cultures and countries, representing life and purity throughout Western history. This antique pendant is a beautiful example of not only this, but also of that old school craftsmanship you don't often find anymore. Made with a carved mother of pearl Madonna figure along a background of blue plique-a-jour enamel, the pendant has a seed pearl halo and the numbers "3.12.936" engraved on the back (presumably March 12, 1936).
