The polychrome plaster models for both sides of this pendant are recorded as being form the workshop of Alfred André (see A. Kugel, R. Distelberger & A. Bimbenet-Privat, Joyaux Renaissance, Une Splendeur Retrouvée, Paris, 2000, annexe, pl.xxvi-d). A notation on the front of the model reads 'Côté du soufflet' and on the reverse 'Pendant du cou soufflet or émaillé en blanc, les traits de crayon représentent les filets d'or'.
