A fabulous Chinese export gilt sterling silver enamel hippocampus amulet pendant, circa the 1920s-1940s.
This pendant is crafted from sterling silver in the form of an articulated hippocampus. It has 9 segments which allows the entire body of hippocampus to "swim" and move freely when worn.

It is truly a unique piece that is quite a catch!
