Vertical panel with a pendant in the shape of a sea monster carrying Neptune, who is seated on an urn to the right of a river-god holding an oar. The ornament is suspended from a small jewelled motif tied with a ribbon at top. Plate 10 from a series of ten plates with pendant designs in the shape of sea monsters. The series, known as Designs for Pendants II, was engraved by Adriaen Collaert, after designs by his father, Jan Collaert I, who died in 1580. Jan Collaert I produced several series of pendant designs, including the prequel to this series, Designs for Pendants I. This print belongs to the first edition, published in Antwerp by Philips Galle in 1582.
