A banded agate orb with a high carat snake coiled about it, the snake with a happy, open mouthed face.
 
Converted from a stickpin this makes a fabulous pendant. I have added a bale at an angle so Mr Snake is not hanging upside down.
 
19mm diameter
high carat gold (apart from jump ring which is 9 carat)
weight - 4.8g
circa 1870
