This jewel is inspired by sixteenth century pommander girdle pendants worn by women on a belt loosely tied around their waist and from which might also be suspended an amulet, keys or a small purse. It will have contained a scented paste such as ambergris.
This style is believed to have been made in Augsburg, Vienna or Munich at the end of the 16th century- early 17th century. The design is comparable to one in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection (op.cit. no. 21, K135B) as well as one in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (Acc. Number 298-1854) both believed to be South Germany, circa 1600.
Although executed in the manner of Reinhold Vasters, this particular pendant is not recorded as such in his designs held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, but share similarities such as the large enameled scrolls, the dotted strawberry motifs and the corded central molding.
