Square pendant containing two verre églomisé pictures on a gold ground, in a silver-gilt filigree frame. On one side is the face of Christ from the Veil of Veronica of Jaen, surrounded by the Instruments of the Passion (ladder, spear, sponge, tongs, hammer and nails). On the other side is a female saint in Dominican robes, holding a flower, probably Saint Catherine of Sienna. There is a loop for suspension at the top.
