A striking and symbolic vintage pendant from the 1960s, depicting an amphisbaena—the mythological double-headed snake—finely crafted in solid 14k gold and accented with four ruby eyes. Rooted in ancient lore, the amphisbaena represents duality, protection, and regeneration, making this piece both visually compelling and rich in meaning.
The pendant measures approximately 1.3 inches from the top of the jump ring to the bottom by 0.85 inches wide and weighs 3.62 grams.
The gold has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and confirmed with jeweler’s acid testing, authenticating its 14k composition. In excellent vintage condition, this pendant is a rare and evocative example of mid-century mythological jewelry, ideal for collectors drawn to symbolic design and distinctive figural forms.
