About the Item

This 18k gold medallion pendant depicts a red squirrel in the exquisite detail and beautiful casting that French jewelry is known for. Red squirrels can be identified by their fluffy, tufted ears, as seen in this piece, and are the species of squirrel native to France. Here, he is depicted eating an acorn, surrounded by four other acorns in a beautiful composition of swirling leaves and the squirrel’s tail. The detail is so refined that you can see the texture of the leaves, the fur of the squirrel, and a well-delineated eye. We love that the medallion’s shape is not completely round, but instead follows the shape of the leaves. The gold has a beautiful matte surface and the back of the pendant is a brushed gold.  The pendant measures 1 1/4” x 1 3/8”, plus a 5 x 7 mm bail. It has a hefty weight of 14.35 grams. It is marked with a French hallmark in a diamond, and the French hallmark for 18k gold.

The Kidarites belonged to a complex of peoples known collectively in India as the Huna, and in Europe as the Chionites (from the Iranian names Xwn/Xyon), and may even be considered as identical to the Chionites. The 5th century Byzantine historian Priscus called them Kidarite Huns, or "Huns who are Kidarites". The Huna/Xionite tribes are often linked, albeit controversially, to the Huns who invaded Eastern Europe during a similar period. They are entirely different from the Hephthalites, who replaced them about a century later. Ardoksho (Bactrian script Αρδοχϸο), also Romanised as Ardochsho, Ardokhsho and Ardoxsho, the Iranic goddess of wealth was a female deity of the Kushan Empire...
