Mysterious Antique European Sterling Silver Screw Top Acorn Pendant

Description

Mysterious Antique European Sterling Silver Screw Top Acorn Pendant
This stunning pendant was hand made, probably in Central Europe, in the 19th Century. The piece is crafted in the shape of an acorn and features detailed ornamentation and a screw top mechanism that reveals a cavity. There is a little yellow lump of something inside but it's hard to tell what exactly it is. It might be a reliquary container. The piece is in good antique condition with some patina according to age.
This great pendant measures approx. 1 1/2" long and weighs
16.8 grams.
Very unusual piece!
