14" Alpaca Mexico shield/bird pendant w/ abalone shell inlay on 925 box chain!

This was such a unique find! I've never seen a piece quite like this one. The pendant is in the shape of a shield (in my opinion) with abalone shell inlay of a bird sitting on a branch. On the back of the pendant it's worn, but stamped "alpaco mexico". The pendant by itself is about 1.75" long by 1.5" wide. Comes on a 925 stamped box chain that's about 14" long. Meant to be worn as a short statement piece for sure. Please inspect and enlarge the pictures to assess the condition of the item for yourself. Please ask any questions you might have.
