Update! I was informed by a collector that this was created in 1969 as one of ten by the Philadelphia Sculptor Bernard Brenner, and they were all unsigned. A short bio and an additional work may be seen at the site of Christopher Ray, Sculptor/Curator http://www.chrisray.com/exhibit/show01/index.htm
Stunning hand forged and welded brazed bronze pendant. Not only is this piece large it is very hefty and though unmarked, it has all the earmarks of some the greatest jewelry designers from the 1950's and 1960's of the modernist jewelry movement. I have paired it with a new, extra long black waxed cord. Very cool piece!
