This necklace features a 1989 Czechoslovakian stamp of an Illustration by Hannu Taina, a children's book illustrator from Finland.
This illustration came from the book Herra Kuningas (Mr King) by Raija Siekkinen:
A king lives alone in a majestic house with a glass dome. He reads in his library books about other kings, but unlike them, he doesn't have "subjects." His loneliness is immense. One morning a huge, furry cat arrives and identifies herself as a "tiger." The king welcomes his first subject and does his best to serve the cat. Gradually, he begins to rediscover his world, seeing everything anew through the cat's eyes. When the king passes a mirror, he says "hurrah" and salutes. Soon another house is built nearby, then a whole town, and all the people salute him as he passes, calling him "Mister King," for that's what he has written on his mailbox.
The image was taken from real, used, vintage postage stamps and may have post office cancellation marks.
Size of the pendant is 20mm and the chain is 18 inches long in a matching antique bronze finish with a lobster clasp.
Pendants are water resistant but not waterproof, I recommend removing before showering, bathing or swimming.
