About the Item

A vintage silver mounted carved cow (bull) bone amulet charm, featuring the iconic figa or mano fico symbol - just the kind of jewelry Grand Tour visitors to Italy favored in the past. Such amulets were usually worn to ward off the evil eye. This one features a beautifully accomplished sculptural version of the arm and hand ornament in an attractive sterling silver pendant. The figa is in very good condition and measures 6.6 centimeters in length, width 1.2 centimeters. Hallmark present and visible on the bale. The pendant comes without the necklace chain.
