Gem-set gold pendant, c. 1570.
Gold pendant enclosing triangular shaped cameo of an illustrious lady. Possibly Mary Queen of Scots in enamelled scroll border set with four stones the back similarly decorated with three pendant baroque pearls some stones replaced c. 1720. It was given by Queen Mary to Thomas Howard 4th Duke of Norfolk then by descent.
