This carved gemstone pendant is crafted from a single piece of lapis lazuli, featuring a deep blue body with visible golden pyrite inclusions and white calcite veining. The stone is carved into the stylised form of a seated bird or owl, with several small circular indentations across the figure, some of which contain metallic pins or remnants of settings for decorative accents. The pendant is secured by a polished yellow gold triangular cap and a large, tapered bale. The bale is impressed with a mark reading 14K, indicating the metal purity.
The carved body measures approximately 25mm in width and 25mm in height. The total length, including the bale, is approximately 38mm.
