15th-century gold pendant at Sotheby's

Wednesday July 1, 2009
A striking gold pendant dating to the 15th century will be offered for sale at Sotheby's Old Master Sculpture and Works of Art auction on July 9. The pendant is no bigger than a postage stamp and depicts the Holy Trinity in surprisingly ornate detail. Discovered by a metal detectorist while walking in a field near her home, the pendant is estimated to sell for at least £150,000. Find out more about this rare object, and see a very nice photo, in the item at artdaily.org.
