An octopus-shaped pendant made of gold and enamel features a bulbous body decorated with a pattern of circles and intersecting lines in green, yellow, and orange enamel. Eight granular tentacles curl upward from the base, framing the head. These gold extensions are covered in small, raised spheres. At the bottom center, a small gold ring joins the two inner tentacles, completing the organic and highly textured form.
