A novelty miniature pendant? or charm? designed in the form of a nautical signal lamp or ship’s lantern. The piece is constructed from a darkened white metal, featuring a cylindrical body with a flared base and a chimney-style top. It is inset with three faceted glass stones: a large circular red stone, a large circular green stone, and a smaller colorless stone at the top. A wire-work handle is attached to the sides, terminating in a jump ring for suspension. The overall design captures the functional elements of a traditional carbide or railway lamp in a miniature scale.
