It is a golden-toned metal piece, typical of 1950s costume jewelry, as suggested by the matte and slightly patinated finish. The head is topped with a large circular bail, allowing it to be worn on a chain or cord. The rounded ears, prominent snout, and large round eyes are treated in a naive style, giving the piece a distinct retro charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe item has a full form, with deliberately irregular contours, characteristic of artisanal or semi-industrial productions of the period. The pendant's surface displays metallic reflections, with a visible patina on the raised areas, particularly around the ears and snout. There are some signs of oxidation or slight wear, which enhances the authentic vintage appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible side shows a relief execution, with deliberately schematic details: the eyes are simply indicated by circles, the central bouquet is composed of small grouped balls, and the paws are folded forward. No markings, signatures, or hallmarks appear on the visible part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis pendant, with its naive animal design, evokes the typical fantasy creations of the mid-20th century, both decorative and playful. The golden appearance of the metal adds a warm and retro touch, enhanced by the natural patina of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
