Welcome to Sea Green Mermaid!

For sale is an antique 14k yellow gold mother-of-pearl pendant featuring a beautiful Japanese scroll painting. This pendant is an exquisitely hand-painted tiny work of art, with rich, vibrant colors. The blue of the mountains and the green of the trees are simply gorgeous. The natural setting, with three large mountains in the rear offset by a tree at the water's edge in the foreground, are typical of much Japanese art. 

This pendant is a rare find - we've never seen another one like it. The "scroll" is a flat rectangle of mother-of-pearl on which the artist traditionally would combine some calligraphy with a painted scene. With magnification, you can see the calligraphy (Japanese kanji characters) in the upper righthand corner (though there is some wear in that corner).
There is articulated bail in 14k yellow gold to accommodate your chain. This pendant is a beautifully crafted relic of a era gone by.

**"A kakemono (掛物?, “hanging”), more commonly referred to as a kakejiku (掛軸?, “hung scroll”), is a Japanese scroll painting or calligraphy mounted usually with silk fabric edges on a flexible backing, so that it can be rolled for storage."

The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)
