Pendant with chain, by Paul Godfrey

This pendant of buffalo horn, ivory, silver and hardwoods was made by the Scottish artist Paul Godfrey in 1981.

The rectangular pendant contains black and white stripes of buffalo horn and ivory, and a segmented semi-circle of hardwoods inlaid into purple hardwood. It has a silver surround and box chain.

During the 1980s the Scottish Development Agency purchased a number of hand-crafted items for its Scottish Crafts Collection. The aim of the collection was to inform the public of craft production in Scotland through touring exhibitions and education programmes. When the Scottish Craft Council was wound up, the collection was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland.
