This gold pendant takes the shape of a water drop. It is crafted by joining two openwork gold sheets that have identical decorative patterns. Each sheet features a chrysanthemum on the uppermost part, and a phoenix soaring from the bottom amidst camellias and peonies, creating a harmonious floral artistry.
This pendant was discovered strung to its female tomb owner with silk thread. It is believed to be a pendant hung from women’s long shawl, unraveling the grace of Song Dynasty (960-1279) noble attire. It is in the permanent collection of the Nanjing Municipal Museum.
