Hand with Raven Skull

Hand pendant with a raven skull, whose weathered and eroded bone is imitated with vitreous white enamel; the fontanelles are painted gold ornaments. Deep in the eye sockets sits a pair of rose-cut diamonds. The black enameled hand is gold tattooed on both sides, inspired by the archaic tattoos of the indigenous people of the Marquesas Islands. It wears a diamond-set bracelet with painted gold ornaments, and sapphire and diamond rings.
