The design of the Museum’s pendant is based on a pendant worn by one of the younger female figures in the triptych Christ Blessing, Surrounded by a Donor and His Family, painted around 1575–80 by Ludger tom Ring the Younger (German, 1522–84), who belonged to a family of painters in Munster that moved to Brunswick after embracing Protestantism. In the painting, Christ sits at a table surrounded by a devout family of a father, mother, two sons, and two daughters. The family has not been identified but they are painted in close proximity to Christ, indicating that they were Protestants, since Catholics would not have allowed themselves to be depicted as having such a familiar relationship with Christ. 24 kt. gold plate, lightly antiqued, with crystal sapphire, crystal amethysts, and simulated pearls.
