介绍（中）	这种类型的吊坠被设计成挂在念珠或念珠（一串念珠）上，念珠是一种虔诚的物品，在15世纪开始流行，尤其是在荷兰。它们既是佩戴者虔诚的明显标志，也是时尚配饰。尽管尺寸很小，但浮雕正面的圣母玛利亚和圣婴具有纪念意义，让人想起15世纪的勃艮第雕塑。在一种不同寻常的技术组合中，采用了一种不同的介质，在低音尾灯中进行了反向设计，从而将设计打造成一个涂有半透明珐琅层的银床。通过这种技术获得的丰富的发光颜色让人想起彩色玻璃这些源自佛朗哥-勃艮第的吊坠很少能幸存下来，罗伯特·雷曼收藏中的这件吊坠具有无与伦比的质量和重要性。珍贵材料的使用、圣安妮（15世纪在勃艮第特别受人尊敬）的加入、人物的风格以及这件物品的精湛工艺表明，它是在勃艮第宫廷作坊中制造的，尽管最初主人的身份尚不清楚。它显示出相当大的摩擦，毫无疑问来自虔诚的处理。
介绍（英）	Pendants of this type were designed to hang from a paternoster or rosary (a string of prayer beads), a devotional object that became popular in the fifteenth century, particularly in the Netherlands. They functioned as a visible sign of the wearer's piety, as well as a fashion accessory. Despite their diminutive size, the Virgin and Child on the cameo obverse exhibit a monumentality reminiscent of fifteenth-century Burgundian sculpture. Employing a different medium in an unusual combination of techniques, the reverse is executed in basse-taille, whereby the design is worked into a bed of silver coated with a layer of translucent enamel. The rich glowing colors achieved through this technique recall those of stained glass. Few of these pendants of Franco-Burgundian origin survive, and this example in the Robert Lehman Collection is of unsurpassed quality and importance. The use of precious materials, the inclusion of Saint Anne (who was particularly venerated in Burgundy in the fifteenth century), the style of the figures, and the consummate craftsmanship of this object suggest that it was manufactured in a Burgundian court workshop, though the identity of the original owner is unknown. It shows considerable rubbing, no doubt from devotional handling.
