Devotional pendant in gold and enamel, Mary Magdalene and Saint John the Baptist, 18th century. Possibly Mallorcan. One of the windows is broken. Oval pendant decorated around its edges with turned gold bows and small metallic pearls. One of its fronts shows Mary Magdalene, as a hermit, with a skull, a cross and a book; the other presents the image of Saint John the Baptist, accompanied by a cross and a lamb, alluding to the Gospel text. These types of pieces were highly valued by their owners as elements of devotion, and could also, at the same time, contain a relic inside.
