Oval Green Cabochon and Brass/Gold-Tone Pendant

This item is a decorative pendant featuring a central oval-shaped green cabochon stone, likely jade as indicated in the context, set within a brass or gold-toned metal frame. The frame itself is roughly square-shaped with scalloped edges, resembling a four-petal flower or cross design. Each of the four 'petals' or corner extensions is adorned with a raised, textured, spherical or bead-like embellishment, adding dimension and a craft-like aesthetic. The metal surrounding the central stone appears to have fine textured detailing, possibly filigree or granulation, though the resolution limits precise identification. A prominent bail, which allows the pendant to be strung on a chain, is attached to the top. The metal appears to be polished with a warm, slightly reddish-gold hue, characteristic of brass or possibly low-karat gold. The surface shows some minor wear consistent with handling and age, but no significant damage like cracks or chips are visible on the stone or severe tarnishing/corrosion on the metal. The craftsmanship suggests a handmade or artisan-crafted piece, potentially from the mid-20th century or later, given its relatively clean lines and solid construction. The overall design is somewhat traditional or ethnically inspired, leaning towards an antique or vintage aesthetic.
