Mid-Century 'Big Eye' Style Hand-Painted Resin Pendant

Story

The 1960s and 70s saw a massive explosion in the 'Big Eye' art movement, popularized by artists like Margaret Keane, which focused on the soulful, exaggerated gaze of children.

Maker / Origin

While the specific artist is unsigned, this piece belongs to the tradition of 'Boutique Craft'—items sold in small galleries or high-end souvenir shops during the mid-century.

Condition & Value

The pendant appears to be in good vintage condition with the painting well-preserved under a protective finish. The leather cord shows some age-appropriate softening, which adds to its character. Maintaining the resin's surface by avoiding harsh chemicals will preserve the artwork's clarity.
