EDITOR'S REVIEW
A favourite with collectors, when Germany's Otto Jakob first showed in Maastricht in 2008 there was a constant queue of eager buyers outside his stand. This one-of-a-kind pendant is in the shape of a hand holding a fire salamander. The white enamelled hand is tattooed with golden fire tongues and wears a diamond and sapphire-set bracelet, and a pair of sapphire rings. The salamander’s gold spotted body is covered with vitreous black enamel, while its tongue is made of coral.
