This 2 1-4" x 3 3-4" pendant shows a green eyed goldtone lynx at the center of antique silvertone open metalwork tree branches on 10" bilateral goldtone chains. By designer Eugene Bertolli for Napier from their Endangered Species Series 1972.
Animal enthusiasts will note the lynx ears more similar to the bobcat, however original Napier (founded in 1915) title was the lynx

Absolute gorgeous piece with incrested dimension, very unusual appearaat mesmerising car who steals the show !~
Wow, very unique and quite substantial pendant. I have not seen one like this before :)
Phil thank you for the super compliment and thoughtful comment, this pendant does have a dimensional look and the cat really looks lively!
MrsT this is an unusual Napier design, it was a trendy original back in the 70s when they were trying modern looks, besides this lynx I have also seen it with a fox in the forest. Very kind words, thank you
Right Mary, doesn't the cat look a bit predatory & wanting to get free, that's why I liked the full front picture of it best! Napier did try to make it look raised away from the pendant, I think to show the detail. I agree the back is well done esp where they just attached the cat with a simple bolt, and I'm really digging that cool golden chain :) Thanks as always for your great compliment & observs
With many thanks everyone for the kind love

The first picture is very 3 dimensional, look much bigger than the measurement.
Really have the look of Bobcat agree.
Congratulation Jenni, wonderful piece.

So is he a Bobcat or is he a Lynx?! I can't tell the difference but he is a lovely looking feline- the detail in him is amazing, I can imagine him prowling through snow filled forests and hiding amongst firs- just noticed also his body (and that of real lynx's and bobcats have a rather square look a bit like that of a Manx cat.
Thanks Alan for the great comment, I did take the first picture larger to focus on the wildcat - when lying down, it's hard to see the full face & body. Very glad you enjoyed it & thank you for the love :)
Lauren you're so right it is very hard to tell the difference between lynx and bobcat, Napier called this piece lynx but over the yrs people have named it bobcat because there are no tufted hairs coming straight up from the ears like real lynx have - remember, these jewelry designers only interpret & often don't do exact repros. I love your idea of seeing him in the forest on the prowl, the real cats probably do just that! Great imagery my friend and appreciate the love too
Sincere thanks Gudrun and Sean for the love, I'm so glad you enjoyed this somewhat quirky Napier lynx piece and always grateful for the appreciation
