A handmade octopus-figure pendant on a chain, finished to read as antique brass and sold explicitly as Victorian-goth / steampunk wearable — also cross-listed as a pirate costume accessory, which is the tonal cocktail that keeps it inside the working-gothic register the catalog runs for figurative jewelry. Tentacle-creature pendants sit in the cryptid-adjacent lane, not the skull-and-cross default, and that displacement is what makes the piece read as a specimen rather than as generic gothic-jewelry filler.
373 prior accessions average 4.4/5, a substantial sample-size showing for a mid-tier handmade steampunk pendant. The listing confirms the antique finish and octopus figure but doesn't specify pendant dimensions, chain length, metal composition, or clasp construction, so treat those particulars as unconfirmed until the piece is in hand. Price wasn't published at capture — factor value-for-money at purchase time rather than from this entry.
