This exotic and rare pendant dates from the Victorian period approx. 1880, also known as the British Raj. Tiger claw jewellery became popular during the British colonization of India. Wealthy British travellers on safari brought these trophies home as souvenirs with an Indian flair, as a memory of their great colonial adventure. Today, the manufacturing of such jewellery is prohibited. Therefore this pendant is a collector's item. Jewellery that dates from before 1947 are permitted under CITES regulations.
