介绍（中）	这个吊坠的框架是由伦敦维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆收藏的Reinhold Vasters未发表的设计制成的（库存编号E 3569-1919）。这个吊坠是根据16世纪的一种类型制作的，据信是在意大利北部或西班牙制造的。费斯·丹尼斯（Faith Dennis）在大都会艺术博物馆（the Metropolitan Museum of Art）出版了J·皮尔庞特·摩根（J.Pierpont Morgan）收藏的一个例子（17.190.882）。有四幅verreéglomisé画作，显然都出自同一只手。珠宝一侧的图案展示了《牧羊人的诞生和报喜》，中央的另一幅作品展示了一位隐士圣人跪在十字架前；另一边是三贤士的崇拜，中间是一位坐在十字架前的女圣人。撇开是否有可能在19世纪有四件16世纪的互补作品可供装裱这一问题不谈，图像方案的模糊和画作的劣质表明，整件珠宝可能是19世纪的杰作。
介绍（英）	The frame of this pendant was made from an unpublished design by Reinhold Vasters in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (inv. No. E 3569-1919). The pendant is based on a sixteenth-century type believed to have been made in northern Italy or perhaps Spain. Faith Dennis published an example from the J. Pierpont Morgan Collection in The Metropolitan Museum of Art (17.190.882). While it is possible that the frame may have been designed for existing pieces of verre églomisé, or reverse-painted glass, close examination of the paintings suggests that they, too, are the products of a nineteenth-century craftsman. There are four verre églomisé paintings, all apparently by the same hand. Those on one side of the jewel illustrate the Nativity and Annunciation to the Shepherds and, in the center, a separate piece shows a hermit saint kneeling before a crucifix; on the other side are the Adoration of the Magi and, in the center, a female saint seated in front of a crucifix. Leaving aside the question of whether or not it is probable that four complementary sixteenth-century pieces are likely to have been available for mounting in the nineteenth century, the vagueness of the iconographic scheme and the inferior quality of the painting indicate that the entire jewel is probably a nineteenth-century fabrication.
