Pendant in the form of a head

Anton Rädecker, c. 1925

This is literally a piece of wearable sculpture. The maker, Anton Rädecker, is known primarily for his sculptures on buildings of the Amsterdam School (an Expressionist architectural movement). The pendant’s dimensions are all that distinguish it from Rädecker’s large, monumental works.
