This vintage African Queen pendant has a molded face of glossy black thermoplastic set into an impressive mounting befitting an Egyptian ruler. The headdress is silver-plated and has a textile pattern cast into it; it measures 2 ½" by 2". The face has regal molded features and a glossy finish which looks just like Bakelite (it may be, but I have difficulty getting black Bakelite to test positive). The 24" long chain is light in weight and silver in color, I believe it is aluminum; the box clasp is stamped "Germany." This distinctive circa 1960 pendant is in great condition and will help you get the royal respect you deserve.
