Vintage/Antique 18ct Gold And Unakite Figa’ Goodluck Pendant

Sale price$595.00 AUD

Laybys welcome! Contact Us today to secure your dream piece.
Quite and exotic and rare example of the symbolic gesture know as ‘Figa’, whose origins date back over 8000 years.

With a variety of meanings the most common symbolism is that of Mano Figa which originated in Etruscan Italy.

This particularly fine example is mounted in 18k yellow gold, with a tiny  bracelet around the wrist also in gold, and an oval jump ring quite large enough to accommodate a variety of your favourite chains.

Sculpted finely from the beautiful pinkish-orange with green striations mineral called Unakite, this is the first example of its kind we have seen of this material.
Unknown age but we believe this rare piece would date to the early to mid 20th century.
