The charming pendant on this necklace is from the time of the Qing Dynasty in China and depicts a dog which was a potent symbol. In ancient China the loyalty of dogs is emphasized not only in folktales and legend but also in art and protective iconography such as this.

This pendant hangs from a 25 inch necklace of hand-knotted silver beads. The pendant is 2 inches wide and hangs 1.75 inches from the necklace.
