Superb antique Victorian boars tusk breloque pendant mounted in sterling silver. A breloque is a trinket, charm, or ornament that was usually worn attached to a gents watch chain. As tusks go it is a fairly small size and it has a silver split ring at the top to attach it to a chain for wear as a necklace or add it to a watch chain as a fob.
Note the chains shown are for display and not included.
During the mid to late 1800s, tusks were popular pendants and amulets. A fab example and a genuine antique!
