Beautiful pendant Holy Spirit in 585 thousandths gold, the ribbon-shaped knotted bélière is dressed with rhinestones. The bird holds a double branch of blue and red flowers, the body is decorated with rhinestones. Work from Lower Normandy around 1809/1819. Gross weight: 27.70 g. Size: 10 x 5.3 cm. The Holy Spirit completes the series of religious jewels. It is so named because it represents a dove, emblem of the Holy Spirit. It always descends from heaven to earth and most often carries a branch decorated with small white stones or coloured stones, sometimes assembled in bunches of grapes.
