1930s Nike Jasperware Pendant
Wonderful antique pendant set with a blue jasperware cameo depicting a winged Nike, the ancient Greek goddess of victory, holding a spear in her left hand. The cameo is mounted in a simple silver bezel setting and dates from the 1930s. Although unmarked, it is attributable to Wedgwood - smaller plaques like this one were often left unmarked.
Nike (or Victoria in Roman mythology) is the Greek personification of victory, in peace and in war. She is the daughter of the river goddess Styx and the Titan Pallas, and is often depicted with wings, symbolising speed and swiftness. Along with her brothers Zelus, Kratos, and Bia, the personifications of glory, power and strength, Nike helped Zeus in his overthrow of the Titans and his victory over Typhon. As a reward, Zeus honoured the siblings and always kept them by his side, with Nike becoming his charioteer. Nike is also closely associated with Athena, with the two forming the cult of Athena Nike which was prominent in ancient Athens with a temple dedicated to the goddesses on the Acropolis.

A healthy patina and the odd scuff or scrape is quite normal... it's part of their charm!
