Vintage brass pendant.

What do I have here? Looks like mythical beasts maybe? Half human, half beast type beasts? Greek? Egyptian? The hand signed aspect is kind of interesting. I bought a giant pile of costume over the weekend and this was in it. So far it’s been 1920’s or so to 1980’s or so. So far have pulled three sterling bangles, one sterling necklace, one 14k earring backer, and a few GF pieces out so that always a bonus. A handful of things sellable on their own or in small lots on the costume side. I’m about 1/3 of the way through searching it. For some reason searching huge batches of jewelry is one of my favorite things ever to do. At most I wear a single ring or a single chain but I do love looking through piles of it. I guess it’s like going out to hunt at auctions and estate sales but you get to do it on the couch whenever you want.

 

Souvenir of Mykonos, I would hazard, without doing any research.

 

Mykonos is the modern/alternate name for Mycenae (Greece). The image on the pendent is the Lion Gate at Mycenae -
