Victorian Mother of Pearl Fish Pendant hair slide with a LONDON MADE stampDATE: Victorian, c. 1860 Unusual fish pendant dating from the 1860's. It's a hand crafted piece of mother of pearl with hand carved lines to create the illusion of scales and fins. With its long head and tail, I am unsure on what type of of fish this is Any guesses? I'm thinking carp. In ancient China, it was believed that there was a magical carp that was able to swim upstream against the current of the Yellow River and leaped over Dragons Gate
