    "description": "An enameled gold and jeweled pendant, the openwork scrolled back-plate with various colored leaves, flowers, and shells, the front set with a large table cut diamond in a high cusped box collet, sides with black arabesques on a blue base, flanked by a pair of table cut diamonds in square collets. It is crowned with an allegorical figure in half relief of a care breasted woman in red drapery clasping a column and riding a stag with head turned back to look at the woman. One of its antlers is now missing. The combinatin suggests a personification of Fortitude.The chain and attachments with surrounding flourishes are 19th-century repairs and embellishments, probably by Reinhold Vasters (1827-1909).",
