Made of metal, as indicated by the keywords, it has a dark gray finish with a patinated appearance, suggesting artisan or semi-artisan craftsmanship. The contours are thick, rounded, and intentionally irregular, giving the piece a strong visual presence and an authentic character, typical of vintage ethnic jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the pendant shows texture marks and small irregularities, enhancing the patina effect and the aged look sought after in antique jewelry. The sturdy suspension ring is integrated into the upper part of the symbol, allowing for easy wearing on a chain or cord. The OM symbol, stylized with broad and generous lines, occupies the entire space of the pendant, without additional decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe object is photographed on a light gray velvet background, placed in a case adorned with embossed golden motifs, highlighting the contrast between the sobriety of the metal and the richness of the support. No markings, signatures, or logos are visible on the photographed side. The dark hue and deliberately raw style recall the work of artisanal jewelry popular in the 1970s-80s, although a precise dating cannot be affirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece stands out for its symbolic and decorative dimension, ideal for use as a pendant or talisman. The OM symbol is immediately recognizable by its characteristic curves, making it a spiritual jewel as well as a vintage fashion accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo inscription, nor reference to a manufacturer or origin other than \"Marseille\" (mentioned in the keywords) appears on the visible part. The general appearance evokes an ethnic-inspired piece of jewelry, both sober and expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
