    Its 18 carat gold with a glass cover on both sides. It doesn't open. Between the glass covers there is a portrait of a farmer girl (I think on paper) and on the back it has a geometric pattern of yellow and red leaves.
    There is some portion of the pattern missing on one side of the pendant.
    I m not a big fan of figural jewelry, but this one is pretty sweet in all its naivety and also it has that nice geometric back that I like.
    To my surprise the pendant arrived in this wooden frame.
    I don't know if the frame was original to the piece. Looks maybe like someone made it at home, to fit the pendant.
    Anyhow, I love it with its frame! It hangs on my wall for the moment.
    I think both pendant and wooden frame could be 19th century, although in my opinion the pendant would maybe be early 19th century and the frame late 19th.
    So, what do you think about my latest addition?

    Her clothing -- Empire waist, short sleeves, narrow skirt -- is Regency era. 1795-1820.

    Seller of this incorrectly identified the subject. It is an unbreeched boy. That's also consistent with Regency era.

    Very sweet pendant, Dessert.:)
    Agree. Given that she is probably a country girl, the date could be up to a decade later.
