Gold filigree pendant (22K?) featuring a young Peter the Great of Russia in watercolor on vellum laid on gessoed card, ca. 1680-1710. 10.85 grams, 1-1/2" x 1". A thick cagework of gold with miniature portrait and blue cloth (reminiscent of a reliquary) in center sandwiched between original crystals, the filigree work extremely intricate, with ornate loop at top, minor damage at bottom, likely very rare and important to Russian collectors.
