Vintage Puerto Rico Coquí El Morro Guitar Drum Reversible 3-D Silver-Tone Pendant Medallion – Extra-Large

ayquebella.com



Beautiful and amazing, reversible, silver-tone pendant medallion that captures the essence of two of Puerto Rico’s most enduring symbols, El Coquí and El Morro! Native to La Isla Del Encanto, the delightfully timid coqui frog makes a distinct, rhythmic sound from which it gets its name. From sunset to sunrise, the melodic mating song of el coquí puertorriqueño, “ko-kee, ko-kee,” enlivens the evening and lulls the listener to sweet sleep. El Castillo de San Felipe del Morro in San Juan (El Morro) is a 16th Century fortress and UNESCO World Heritage Site that encapsulates Puerto Rico’s role as a guardian of the New World. The pendant depicts la garita (sentry box or lookout station) as it sits atop the fortress.

This wonderful pendant medallion has raised, 3-dimensional images of the coquí, the fortress, a guitar and a drum beneath tropical palm trees and the images appear in reverse on the opposite side. The matte silver-tone on this gorgeous and massive, extra-large pendant medallion is almost like a pewter. This stunning pendant medallion has a natural patina and will be an attention grabber on your favorite necklace of chain!
