Gargoyle Pendant | Silver Plated Pendant turquoise turtle illuminationGargoyles were originally designed as water spouts to preserve a building's masonry, therefore many consider them to be symbols of protection. This antique pendant (circa 1910) features a gargoyle or dragon of silver plated brass, with red and white glass accents. The piece measures 2. 1 inches from the top of the bail to bottom by 1. 4 inches wide. It is in good condition with some wear to the silver plating especially on the back of the piece.
