Antique Japanese Bone Chicken Egg Charm Pendant Necklace Opening Japan Vintage Jewelry Jewellery photo The cameos depict graces andDESCRIPTION: A genuine antique Japanese opening egg charm pendant, hand carved from bone and hand painted with a rooster chicken. The item opens closes, I imagine it would've had a small chicken in it at some point. It weighs approx. 2. 32g and the size dimensions are in the later photos. When closed completely, the painting of the chicken doesn't perfectly line up. This is likely because the female thread has deepened with time.
