Ancient Art Nouveau solid silver pendant with iris decoration. Very beautiful craftsmanship in embossed silver. Hallmarks on the lid - 800. L 5.5cm, H 4.1cm, W 2.2cm. Embossing is a technique for shaping a sheet of metal where the raised patterns are created by pushing the metal from the back.

A delicate manual work using fine rounded chisels.
