SILVER SAINT ESPRIT & BOW PENDANT

SILVER SAINT ESPRIT & BOW PENDANT.

This is a shiny early 19th century 'Saint Esprit' cross pendant (circa 1860). We are 99% sure that this jewel is French as this is a typical regional French jewel. The pendant is entirely made in silver and has the shape of a suspended Holy Dove (Saint-Esprit means in French Holy Ghost). It is entirely ornamented with shiny white strass stones. It holds in its beak a vegetal branch. The Holy Dove is suspended from a kind of crown-shaped ornament.
