Crafted from enamelled and gem-set gold, this exquisite piece showcases the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that was characteristic of the time period. The majestic eagle motif symbolizes strength, power, and freedom, making it a significant emblem in both Islamic and African cultures. The use of precious stones such as lapis lazuli adds a touch of luxury and elegance to the piece, reflecting the opulence of the era. The vibrant colors of the enamel work beautifully complement the shimmering gold base, creating a harmonious blend of materials that catch the eye and captivate the imagination. This pendant would have been worn as a statement piece by someone of high status or religious significance.
