EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite George IV Coronation Gold Pendant, crafted by James Tassie in 1821. Measuring at a delicate 3.2x2.7 cm, this pendant is a true testament to Tassie's artistry and attention to detail. The centerpiece of this pendant is a bare head laureate bust of King George IV, depicted in profile facing left. Encased within a gold mount shaped like a snake swallowing its tail, the pendant exudes an air of regal elegance and symbolism. The integral loop and ring for suspension further enhance its allure. Interestingly, the portrait used on this pendant is identical to that featured on Rundell Bridge and Rundell's coronation medal of 1821. This medal held great significance as it was not only presented during royal ceremonies but also gifted to North American Indian Chiefs. The inclusion of the ouroboros motif - symbolizing eternal cycles or continuity - adds another layer of meaning to this remarkable piece. It serves as a reminder of both the king's authority and his connection with nature. With its intricate craftsmanship and historical significance, this George IV Coronation Gold Pendant stands as an exceptional example of jewelry fit for royalty. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate admirers today, offering us glimpses into the opulence and grandeur associated with monarchs throughout history.
