This fish pendant represents a Synodontis Batensoda, more commonly known as the Nile catfish, a species of fish named for its black belly. Often worn at the end of a plait of hair, amulets like this one were used by children and young women to protect against drowning. This fine amulet is made of gold with stone inlays, including a red stone for the right eye and a green stone for the left. Amulets in the form of the Synodontis Batensoda were particularly popular during the Middle Kingdom, when the fish might have been identified with an astronomical constellation.

The Kama Sutra pendant is a unique carving of pink opal, framed in metal. Both sides are made as realistic as possible and the matte shapes and texture convey real warm flesh as much as possible. At the same time, the carving is aesthetic. This approach makes it possible to create naturalistic images that cause delight and interest, have their own piquancy, but do not go into vulgarity.
The work of St. Petersburg stonecutter and jeweler Katerina Sakovskaya shows us the eternal theme of the interaction of male and female energy in a frank, slightly erotic, but very subtle and aesthetic way. The pendant resembles a Japanese carving, where the master constantly admires every detail of his work and it turns into a kind of meditation.
