Early to mid 19th century 18kt gold pendant or brooch with central carved Carnelian scarab, and intaglio of a seated figure verso. Ram's head detailing and urn form drop. Two partial Italian stamps most probably of the Papal states depicting the Papal Crown and Cross Keys - a 2nd standard hallmark indicating 750 gold or 18kt, does not include a town mark which is most likely indicative of Rome prior to 1860. Total approx. weight is 18.9 dwt. From a Forest Hills, NY estate. Dimensions: 1.25" w x 3" h.

Slight dents/dings to body of urn; break to underside of gold surround of Carnelian. Brooch backing is most likely a later addition.
