The object is made of metal (information confirmed by keywords) and has a matte gold finish with a slightly patinated appearance. The pendant has a volumetric shape, with a mouse with large round ears, standing on its hind legs and holding a bouquet of flowers in relief against it. The domed and circular base is decorated with a frieze of relief flowers, adding an ornamental touch typical of 1950s retro creations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper part incorporates a molded ring allowing the pendant to be suspended from a chain or cord, with no visible clasp on the visible area. The details are deliberately naive and rounded, characteristic of popular costume jewelry from the 1950s. The gilded metal shows some discrete traces of surface irregularities, testifying to an ancient and artisanal manufacturing method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible gilded patina is even, with no major chips or traces of oxidation on the front. The reliefs of the floral decor are well-defined, as are the features of the mouse's snout, eyes, and ears. The ensemble offers a retro and endearing look, evoking the childlike and decorative aesthetic of period costume jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis pendant falls into the category of vintage costume jewelry, often offered in jewelry stores in the 1950s, and originating from old unsold stock (\"deadstock\").
