This is an old Chinese Silver filigree Articulated Fish pendant that has a hinged opening or hidden compartment below the mouth. On the inside of the lid it is stamped Silver, it has a slight gold tint to it, but it looks more silver. The fish measures 3 inches across from the mouth to the tail and is 1 1/4 inches across from the top of the tail to the bottom of the tail. The fish has coral eyes.

As you can see by the pictures it is absolutely gorgeous. The body and the fins all move. There is a small bale at the top of the mouth to add to a chain or use as a charm. From what I have read this was called a Patch Box and was used to carry small patches to cover marks on the skin, I also have seen it described as a Scent Box, although in today's world it would be a great place to store a nitroglycerin pill or a few aspirins for emergencies. It is in excellent condition and is ready to wear.
