14k Gold Carved Carnelian Mama Hen Chicken Pendant. Antique

For sale is a 14k yellow gold carved carnelian mama chicken or hen pendant. The pendant began life as an antique watch fob, but makes a wonderful pendant! The pendant features a three-dimensional hen.  This mama chicken is carved with amazing skill and craftsmanship.  The carnelian has beautifully variegated deep red-orange color.  In dim light the hen appears dark red, but in bright light you can see the translucence in the gemstone. This wee hen would look sweet and dainty worn alone, and can also be layered with other tiny pendants.   

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