I agree wholeheartedly with her sentiment, but I think if I had all that on I might get a neck ache ![]()
@TAH is this pendant NA? Hard to tell, but maybe …Closest I could find for Mr. Newman not on set!
@Punkyof6 It’s good to know the search is still on for Paul Newman. Hard to say, but his pendant doesn’t scream Native American. Nevertheless, I enjoyed seeing this old photo. Thanks for posting!
(dang it, shoulda searched first. one of yall beat me to it)
That’s ok. I posted the same photo in January 2024.
I believe this is a Thai Buddha amulet that Paul Newman is wearing. Buddha is emerging from a lotus blossom.
Here are some examples.
@Stracci, I was just about to say that I think it’s a (somewhat stylized) Buddha pendant. I was able to find a higher-res version of the photo online. Here’s a close-up of it. Well, as close up as I could get, anyway…
@chamekke
Yep, that’s what it is! I used to have a similar one, carved ivory set in 18k.
I think I have this album around here somewhere…love Herb Alpert!
This may be an antique seal fob (used to stamp wax seal on your olden times letters) that Paul Newman is wearing - it’s fuzzy when the image is blown up of course, but the first thing that popped in my head.
EDIT: , didn’t read down far enough, the buddha may be more accurate.
I think you nailed it @RedlandMaggie . Looks like his has a stone set in it.
My parents had that album. I remember the cover well.
