By 1904, the year that he exhibited this necklace at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri, Lalique had progressed beyond Art Nouveau, the movement with which he was originally associated. He began emphasizing compositions with symmetrical components and the use of animal motifs in a style that would become fully manifested in the designs he created for moulded glass several years later. ## Related artworks - [Anemone]() - [Brooch in the shape of a fool's head]() - ['Cockerel' diadem]() - [Interior view]() - [Lily of the Valley Comb]() - [Necklace]() - ['Serpents' corsage ornament]() - [Tray]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
